A Māori adze unearthed during excavations of the Waikanae Golf Club's ninth hole in early October.
An old Māori tool unearthed on the ninth hole fairway at Waikanae's golf course has yet to be re-united with its traditional owners.
Archaeologist Andy Dodd was on site when the adze, or cutting tool, was found on the edge of a small wetland in August as the fairway was being re-aligned to accommodate the massive Ngarara subdivision being built next door.
