Pacific Northwest Native American artifact is a three-quarter grooved axe most likely made of greenstone or pyroximite. To facilitate hafting, axes were grooved, either completely around the four faces of the tool, or on three of the four faces. These groove patterns thus give rise to the terms “full” and “three-quarter” grooved axes, according to University of Iowa, Office of the State Archaeologist. Northwest Native Americans began making this type of axe in the Archaic period, 8500 BC– 1000 BC. The form of a stone axe was created by pecking with a hard hammerstone.
