Description: Unfinished axe with the end of the blade shaped by pecking. The stone was apparently carefully selected because it already had much of the shape and size needed for the finished product.

Dimensions: 16.6 x 8.5 x 5.5 cm; Weight 2 lbs 14 oz.

Collection: On display at the Tuzigoot National Monument Visitor Center (catalog card).
