content: This unfinished piece is listed on the catalog card and an unfinished slate adze. In the log book it is listed as an unfinished knife. It has no resemblance to an adze, finished or unfinished. It is a biface that appears like a knife or spear blade. It is probable that this object is A46199 (and A46199 is A46200). A46200 is actually a piece of unfinished chert. "Knife" is written on it (which would correspond to the information in the log book), and, importantly, the drawings in the log book support this supposition.
