Chippes axes, anyone?

Who else has a few? I'd love to see them..

I have one Guilford axe from North Carolina.

Does this one count? It's a hard stone Celt with a chipped bit.

GatorBoy · Feb 8, 2013

I don't think so.. 8-)

A small chert one from Florida.

bsit1361 · Feb 8, 2013

Wouldn't you call that a knife or small adze?

GatorBoy · Feb 8, 2013

I think small ads would fit.. just working with what I've got. it's thick for its size and completely flaked on both faces to form one bulbous end beveled from both sides.

Nice one gator.

Here's a Woodland chipped axe. It is exactly the same size and shape as our local shell adzes. Not a preform

Sure is.. nice one!

I dont know if I have any like those but they are good ones. Thanks for the views everyone.

Interesting pieces and subject, GTK96. I think I have a few pieces that might qualify. Not sure about this thing, maybe a chipped axe, or adze. What do you folks think?

Looks like they banged on it one way or another...I spend about half the time hunting trying to decide whether or not I have anything at all that is an artifact. Cool either way though

Hey thanks, GTK96. Found this one in a creek nearby. This one looks like a possible adze form, or something.

Here are some crude choppers/axes/adzes. I found the one below the dollar Monday. I cleaned it in the second picture it looks like a decent little adze. I ran out and got it out of the bed of my truck just for you guys,lol. Glad I did. I am liking its creek patina.
