Now here's a weird one,
made by a very lazy knapper who |
Recovered in |
15.00 |
|
apparently just wasn't into
his work the day this one was |
Churchill Co., NV |
|
|
made. A semi-translucent
diagonally banded obsidian Martis |
by L.L. Valdivia |
|
|
arrowhead which is only minimally pressure flaked to
the left
|
|
|
|
side of face A and only minimally worked around the
edges
|
|
|
|
on side B. It retains alot of flat spots from the host
stones
|
|
|
|
surface and has a long section of the original cortex
of the
|
|
|
|
host stone on the right side of side A near the tip
(photos 5
|
|
|
|
& 6) I'm inclined to believe that this one was never
finished,
|
|
|
|
but rather discarded as a "mission impossible" when it
wasn't |
|
|
|
taking the form the knapper intended |
