I was asked to get any help with this Kansas artifact.

I haven't seen a maul/axe of this size so I am kinda at a loss and would like your opinions on this artifact. Any help I could pass on to the owner would be greatly apreciated... It was found in NE Kansas in a plowed field along a creek.

Looks like a 4/4 full groove axe, most common axe type, probably early archaic. Those axe types are usually 3-9 inches .

Like SOHIO said, it looks to be a large Full Grooved Axe and though not really all that common they are found that size every now and then.

By the way SOHIO, I use to work for SOHIO, or Standard Oil Of Ohio, back in the late 70's and early 80's. My father ran a SOHIO service station for many years.
