- Lot Description
Native American, North America, Late Archaic and early Woodland periods, ca. 2000 BCE to 200 CE. An attractive ensemble of 4 hand-knapped stone lanceolate projectile points or tools from the late Archaic to early Woodland periods. Three points present with creamy beige surfaces. The largest of these exhibits an ovoid form with a sharp point and a convex base. The next displays a narrower, triangular body, a concave base, and curves slightly to one side. Also featuring a triangular body, the third has a flat base, slender body, and sides that gently bend inwards creating a flared base and then outwards just before it comes to a point. Perhaps knapped from obsidian, the last piece boasts a lustrous black surface and an ovoid body with points at both ends. Knapped lithics like these examples are made using percussion, by striking the pieces with other stones- a process that requires training and skill to form the desired shape. Size of largest: 2.25" W x 5.875" H (5.7 cm x 14.9 cm); Size of custom display box: 9.375" W x 7.25" H (23.8 cm x 18.4 cm)
Provenance: private Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA collection; ex-Charles (Charlie) Meyer collection, noted collector and famed illustrator for Greg Perino, famed authenticator and writer
