Notes:	There is a socketed axe head in the Nicholson Museum (NM.35.9.1) reported as bearing the field number U.14207, but that number is not an axe. Instead, the number likely reads U.14267 and is actually this axe. The Penn Museum object does not quite match the measurements and the field number is not on the object; the Nicholson has not reported their object's measurements.
