Hohokam large ridge ¾ groove axe with grooved top. One end honed to a fine edge, the other blunt. Made of black hard stone. 8 ¼” x 3”.
We acquired a collection of 27 Hohokam axes. They were collected by one of the oldest families to settle in Arizona. They had thousands of acres and parcels in what is now the metro area of Phoenix, Goodyear and Tucson. They were acquired over generations by this family in wash ways and other parts of their lands.
