My largest spade yet

When I got home, I cleaned all of my finds. I knew that I had a spade, but did not know that it was this nice.

To my understanding, they were hafted or wrapped and used as we would a modern hoe. This is only the third one I have found and by far the largest. You can see the odd sunken in lines up top from hafting in all of mine. Thanks for looking!

Not to be a pooper, I don't see any use marks?? The limestone hoes I have seen have a slick texture at least one -third of the hoe. Could is be a preform?
