Item: Type: Kinney Provenance: Price
TWBAR1 A very well made, quite long and very thin Edwards plateau chert Kinney Knife blade which Recovered from 750.00
is very well and thoroughly flaked on both faces with unbelievably fine edge serrations from  Coryell Co., TX
very minute secondary pressure flaking. It only has 2 slight vertical hinge fractures on side B Ex: Mike Spear
(near bottom of photo 4) and is just in perfect condition. A very superior piece! Ex: Jeffrey James
Taylor COA

Item: Type: Kinney Provenance: Price
TWBAR2 A very well made, quite long and paper-thin Edwards plateau chert Kinney Knife Recovered from 750.00
blade which is very well and thoroughly flaked on both faces. It shows great  Coryell Co., TX
patina and mineralization and with the exception of a slight usage/knapping nick to
one edge, is as perfect as the day it was made. Quite a superior piece, and most
likely made by the same knapper who created TWBAR1 above. Taylor COA

Item: Type: Wadlow Provenance: Price
TWBAR15 A very sturdy off-white and light gray chert Wadlow Knife blade, well   Provenance is undocumented, but 300.00
worked on both faces but having a slight stacked area on both faces near judging by the material I would
the tip which measure an average of 7/8" long. It has good mineralization put this one as being from Missouri
as a testimony to it's antiquity, and is overall not a bad piece.

Item: Type: Mount Albion Provenance: Price
ELAR6 A very exceptional group of 3 very well made agatized wood Mount Albion  Recovered from 235.00
dart points, all thoroughly flaked on both faces by a very experienced knapper Weld Co., CO 1/2 ON-HOLD ms
and showing no damage. Just a very pleasant and attractive group offering. Ex: Bob Roth

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
TWBAR16 This one appears to be the tip of a beveled Archaic point Undocumented, but 40.00
which was salvaged for use as a cutting tool. It's a light tan judging by the material,
Edward's plateau chert piece with good pressure flaking most likely Texas
around all outer edges and light basal grinding. It has flatter
sections in the center of both faces left from the percussion
flaking stage of a much larger blade in it's original form.

Item: Type: Adena Robbins Provenance: Price
TWBAR5 A very meaty mottle grayish-brown dover chert Adena Robbins Knife form Undocumented, most 50.00
showing good percussion flaking to both faces with thorough secondary  likely Kentucky
pressure flaking to all cutting edges. It has a small hafting stop/short-stack just
above the base, on the left side in photo 3. Quite a work-horse of an item.

Item: Type: Fountain Bar Blade Provenance: Price
TCPAR1 A fairly nice and certainly colorful tan and orange chert  Offered by the original 60.00
Fountain Bar single notched knife form. It's well flaked on both finder who recovered
faces and in very good condition, with a single, circular crystal this one in Kane Co., UT
inclusion pattern on side A. This one is a far better specimen (details to buyer)
than any of the Fountain Bars pictured in Overstreet's guide.

Item: Type: Zella Provenance: Price
TWBAR7 A very attractive high grade Edward's plateau chert Zella Knife  Undocumented, but judging from the 165.00
form which is well flaked on both faces and completely intact as material, it's most likely from the
it was made and used long ago Wilson County Sand Pit site in Texas
Ex: Walter Riddle

Item: Type: Northern Side Notched Provenance: Price
TWBAR8 An interesting, very dark blue-gray dacite Northern Side Notched Arrowhead which Recovered from 20.00
has anciently re-worked edges. It has a lateral shear, which took off one barb and Harney Co., OR
extended down along the upper edge of one basal ear. The opposite basal ear has a
lateral shear to it's outer edge. What can I say... slightly better than a field grade find. Raggio COA

Item: Type: Adena Provenance: Price
TWBAR9 A quite attractive mottled tan and light brown jasper/chert Undocumented, most 35.00
Adena dart point having an anciently truncated base. Flaking  likely from Tennessee
patterns are thorough on both faces in mostly a random pattern.

Item: Type: Copena Provenance: Price
TWBAR10 A very nice, colorful mottled blue chert Copena-Round base  Undocumented, 85.00
blade form which retains sections of lighter brown on both faces possibly Ohio
from the original host stone's outer layers. Flaking outside of
these layers is very thorough and well done on both faces. The
base is slightly irregular, most likely from slight hafting damage
sustained during ancient usage. Still an attractive piece

Item: Type: Thebes Provenance: Price
TWBAR11 A VERY LARGE fairly broad and quite sturdy off-white burlington chert Thebes Blade Only documented as 325.00
form. It retains 2 flatter areas on side A left from the original percussion flaking stage, and being found in Missouri
side B has 1 "dig section" at the hafting line (left side in photo 5) from an overly aggressive
indirect percussion, thinning flake strike. It also has a fair sized "dip" on side B near the
horizontal mid-line (photo 5) where flaking from the percussion stage took off more than 
what I'm sure the ancient knapper intended. Secondary pressure flaking is well done, but is
almost exclusively isolated to the cutting edges of the blade. Although the ancient knapper
seems to have been experienced enough, I get the impression that for the manufacture of
this blade, he had the attitude of "only the necessary". Still a piece which displays well. Jackson COA

Item: Type: Pandora Provenance: Price
TWBAR12 A fairly slender medium brown chert Pandora dart point Only documented as 40.00
which is flaked on both faces in a cursory fashion. being found in Texas
Rogers COA

Item: Type: Elk River Provenance: Price
TWBAR13 A little bit rustic, but well formed mottled blue-gray Kentucky Recovered from 45.00
hornstone Elk River knife form very thoroughly flaked on both Jackson Co., TN
faces and having a somewhat asymmetrical form due to it's use
and ancient re-sharpenings as a knife blade. Raggio COA

Item: Type: Bulverde Provenance: Price

which is well flaked on both faces and has no overt flaws. west-central Texas 12/10

RPAR35 A gorgeous and quite long (for type) very light green chert Dovetail Knife/dart Recovered from 2400.00
form thoroughly and very well flaked on both faces with good, detailed  Darke Co., OH
secondary pressure flaking around it's edges. It has a single, thin crystal inclusion
line running horizontally through it's midsection (photos 5 & 6) and it has good
basal grinding. A very superior example of this highly desirable point type. Ex: Greg Perino

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
GECA1 A very stunning group of 6 VERY large and  Recovered in 3900.00
gorgeous river stained Dover chert Copena blades, Benton Co., TN
as perfect, as the day they were made and hidden
for future use, from the late Archaic period. A
VERY RARE offering of a true cache! Jackson COA dlca

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPAR52 A VERY thin light gray and tan-brown flint Scotts Bluff dart Recovered from 450.00
point showing very good and thorough transverse flaking Toledo Bend Lake,
patterns on both faces. It has a very slight ancient nibble to the Louisiana
tip and it's a little rough around the edges, but this is as it was
made and used. Just a very fine example of this desirable type. Ex: Greg Perino

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPAR44 A very light greenish-blue-gray chert Stillwell blade form well flaked on both  Recovered from 300.00
faces by an experienced knapper. All edges show good secondary pressure Brown Co., IL
flaking with the center of side B showing more remnants of broader 
percussion flake scars than appear on side A. It has a very small ancient nick
to one edge (right edge in photos 1 & 3) with another, slightly larger recent 
nick below the ancient nick on the same edge. Still an attractive, respectably
sized ancient piece dating between 7,000 and 9,000 years old. Ex: Greg Perino

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPAR42 A very long, extremely well made glossy white burlington chert Recovered from 750.00
Hemphill showing thorough, superior flaking patterns on both Benton Co., AR
faces by a very advanced knapper. Quite an exceptional piece Ex: Greg Perino
and one of the best examples of this type we've ever seen. Rogers COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPAR47 A very attractive and very well made mottled light gray and off-white chert  Recovered from Texas 450.00
Paisano Knife/Saw duo-purpose blade form. Flaking patterns are thorough 
on both faces by an advanced knapper, although it does have a single shallow
horizontal hinge fracture step, just above the horizontal centerline on side B.
(photo 3) The tip is needle sharp and the serrations are well pronounced on
this ancient piece which dates between 5,000 and 6,000 years old. Ex: Greg Perino

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPAR49 A very slender (for type) good-sized tan, off-white burlington Recovered from 350.00
chert Mahaffy dart point/blade which is very thoroughly flaked Clay Co., MO
on both faces by an advanced knapper. This is a nice, problem-
free point which has a flat basal edge showing remnants of the
original host stone's outer cortex layer. It dates back between
8,000 and 10,500 years old. Ex: Greg Perino

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPAR45 A very nice and quite long, for type, mottled tan and off-white chert  Recovered from 275.00
La Jita Knife form dating back 4,000 to 7,000 years old. It has a very Bandera Co., TX
slight ancient nick to the tip. Flaking patterns are thorough and well
done on both faces, but side A retains a larger, flatter area from a
large percussion flake running below the horizontal centerline to just
above the hafting area. This one is illustrated in Greg Perino's
"Selected Preforms..." series in book 1, page 214. Ex: Greg Perino

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPAR37 A somewhat rustic, brown-gray quartzite Johnson dart point/knife blade/saw combination  Recovered from 275.00
artifact well flaked by an extremely advanced (near-master) knapper in an impossible to Choctaw Co., OK
work material. The flaking patterns on side A are awe-inspiring, especially for the
difficulty in working this type of material, which doesn't truly "flake" during the knapping
process. Side B is well worked around the edges, but here is where the advanced
knapper ran into problems with the host stone resisting knapping efforts; this side has a
couple of substantial vertical ledges running down the center of the blade, just below the
horizontal centerline. (photo 5) The very tip of one auricle is flat (right side in photo 6)
from the original host stone's form. Artistically, this piece shows one heck of a knapping
effort, although the host material lacks color. It's dates to 5,000 to 9,000 years old. Ex: Greg Perino

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPAR48 A good sized, quite thin semi-tranlucent honey colored agate/chert Recovered from 225.00
Marcos Knife form who's host material strongly resembles Knife SE Texas
River Flint. It's very well flaked on both faces with detailed
secondary pressure flaking along all edges. Quite an attractive piece
dating back between 1,800 and 3,500 years old. Ex: Greg Perino

Item: Type: Provenance: Price

River Knife form, which is well flaked on both faces with good SW Arkansas
secondary pressure flaking around the cutting edges. This one
dates back to the Archaic period and is between 3,000 and
5,000 years old. Not bad condition for a piece this old Ex: Greg Perino

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPAR51 A very sturdy and attractive off-white, pink and beige burlington Recovered from 225.00
chert Graham Cave dart point which is between 5,000 and Illinois
9,000 years old. It's very well flaked on both faces with good
secondary pressure flaking around it's edges. It has 2 pressure 
flutes from the base of side A and basal thinning on side B and is
otherwise "all there" as it was anciently made and used. Ex: Greg Perino

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPAR36 A very long fairly sturdy mottled dark gray and sky blue flint Beacon Island   Recovered from 450.00
Knife form which is thoroughly flaked on both faces and shows signs of left Alabama
handed beveling on both faces. It has a slightly bowed form and a flat section
on the basal edge from the original host stone's outer cortex layer. Essentially
"all there" as it was last anciently used. A very nice and attractive piece which
is depicted in Greg Perino's "Selected preforms..." series, book 3, page 22. Ex: Greg Perino

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPAR56 A nice, long mottled blue-gray flint Gary point which is fairly flat from Found by Greg Perino 175.00

good secondary pressure flaking patterns to all edges and around the tip. Ex: Greg Perino

but has nice secondary pressure flaking around the edges Ex: Greg Perino

serrated from the ancient reshapenings. Just an attractive piece Ex: Greg Perino

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPAR57 A fairly small and thin blue, red and off-white chert Mount Albion Recovered from Utah 35.00
dart point which is thoroughly flaked on both faces and has good
edge serrations with basal thinning. It has a slight nibble to the tip of

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPAR55 A tan and very light gray chert Eva Arrowhead having a flat-matte Recovered from 40.00
surface, which is somewhat unusual since the entire surface shows  Alabama
smoothing caused by river polish. It's fairly well flaked on both faces
by an intermediate knapper and has traces of pencil lead around it's
periphery from Mr. Perino's recording method. This one is illustrated
in Greg Perino's "Selected preforms..." series, book 1, page 128. Ex: Greg Perino *
* Please note, Greg Perino traced around almost all of his arrowheads and artifacts with a drafting pencil,
which often left traces of pencil lead around the periphery of the entire artifact recorded

thin circular blue-gray veins running vertically from the base to almost McCurtain Co., OK

the most attractive Daltons we've ever handled.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPAR29 A most impressive, for it's size and material, very long off-white chalcedony Recovered near 1000.00
Hidden Valley Knife form having a bluish hue. The edges appear to have been Texarkana Lake,

LSAR35 A tannish Edwards chert Archaic Atlatl dart point with Pecos Valley, TX 40.00

frosty patination, a needle-sharp tip and an ancient gouge

 
  to one edge, just above the hafting area. Ancient     
  resharpenings were primarily focused around the tip area.

experience I would call this one a crude Angostura point) Stermer COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
LSAR48 A very neat gray and tan chert Uncertain, but most 45.00

miniature Pine Tree arrowhead

likely Kentucky
having a couple of dark brown  
bands. This one's really a charmer.

LSAR50 A highly attractive multi-colored chert Uncertain, but judging from the 65.00

Morrow Mountain blade which is mostly

material and what appears to 
uni-faced and made from a gray, red, be tannic staining on side B, my

the tip and the pink and red bands
surround the large tan circle in the center.
