Is this an adze/Celt

[Older The Better]

Again from the auction box, This one is new as far as artifacts in hand… what is usually the business end appears to be the back. That would make it like a big paddle, it could just be a scraper but I wonder if it’s not a wood working tool

I could see it being used as an adze to remove pulp wood/pith from wood. Could it have been a hoe or planting tool?

I’m not sure exactly what they are but I find them in the Woodland period. Almost like a Round Nosed Knife

Always help to know the size, such as laying flat in your hand or actual measurements. Most of ones I found with that shape were either knives when small or hoes for digging when larger.

Great that gives me some leads to check out, and I knew I forgot a good size photo I was hoping my hand was good enough but here you go, a proper photo

Too small to be a Hoe. I’d call it a bi-face or preform.
