Some are grooved for hafting, after the manner of the grooved ax, but the groove does not extend over the flat face against which the handle is fastened. The hafting takes various forms accord- ing to the shape and size of the blade. The adz is primarily a wood-working tool, but it serves also for scraping, as iu the dressing of skins and in other arts, and, no doubt also on occasion, for digging. The edge of the primitive adz was prob- ably not sharp enough to make it effec- tual in working wood save in connection with the process of charring. The dis- tribution of this implement was very gen- eral over the area north of Mexico, but it probably reached its highest develop- ment and specialization among the wood-.
