- Lot Description
Native American, North America, Mexico & United States, Archaic to Eastern Woodland period, ca. 8000 BCE to 1800 CE (10000 to 200 BP). This is a diverse collection of 32 stone projectile points and blade tips made by various Woodland and Archaic cultures across North America. The stones used are creamy and matte chert in hues of pink, white, beige, and gray. The atlatl point is a glassy obsidian stone from a volcanic site in Mexico, with a sharp tip. Obsidian was revered for its razor like properties and these points were prized possessions. The rest of the points exhibit many forms with basal notches forming shoulders and fins. Some of noteworthy types in this collection include Hopewell, Perkiomen, Kirk Serrated, and Adena. The Kirk Serrated type is notched down both sides of the blade to the tip. While most have relatively flat faces, three display a faceted, three-sided profile. It is always interesting to see simple stone technology presented in such variety of forms, all using similar knapping methods to shape the pieces into dramatically different designs. These would be a wonderful collection to display. Size of largest point: 5.25" L x 2" W (13.3 cm x 5.1 cm); smallest: 1.21" L x .875" W (3.1 cm x 2.2 cm); Riker case: 4.24" L x 3.25" W x 0.75" H (10.8 cm x 8.3 cm x 1.9 cm)
