- Lot Description
Native American, United States, Archaic to Woodland Period, ca. 2000 BCE to 1000 CE. This is a fine group of 4 hand knapped stone tools that were produced and used throughout the Americas for use as drills or awls. Three of the drills or perforators have a long tapering bit with a thick base cross-section- the ones with a wide end are known as key drills, and the head end could be hafted onto a wooden handle for better gripping. Stone drills came in a variety of forms, and many were made from exhausted arrow or spear tips, while others were knapped from raw pieces into the desired shape, to use for carving wood, shell, bones, or other stones to form holes and openings for beads, pipes, or other tools. Size of largest: 3" L x 1" W (7.6 cm x 2.5 cm)
Provenance: private Lumberton, Texas, USA collection, acquired before 2010
