The Hohokam 3/4 groove axe head (also called three-quarter grooved axe) is a distinctive stone tool produced by the Hohokam culture, an ancient Native American civilization that thrived in the desert regions of central and southern Arizona (primarily around modern-day Phoenix) from roughly AD 450 to 1450. Unlike full-grooved axes (which encircle the entire tool), these have a groove around three-quarters of the circumference, leaving one narrow side flat and ungrooved. This flat side allowed the axe head to butt against a wooden handle (haft), with lashing wrapped around the groove for secure attachment. Some examples include subtle ridges above/below the groove or a shallow secondary groove for a wedge to tighten the fit.
