| Description | Lithic tool. Stone roughly triangular shaped. Flat. This is one of a group of five stone tools which have several characterstics in common. They are 2275, 2276, 2277, 2278 and 2286. Each flat stone has a long narrow flat surface. They are made of similar types of stone and were collected in Yokohama. This fact as well as the crudeness of their retouching is comparable to the bifacially chipped adzes from this same series which have been assigned a Late Paleolithic or Jomon date. Like adze 2284, it is difficult to tell if the surface has been retouched and is made of the same type of stone. |
