Item:	Type: Jasper Drill	Provenance:	Price
TCPFT1	A very attractive and very well made red and orange jasper	Offered by the original	125.00
	Drill. This one is well flaked on both faces, to a pronounced	finder who recovered
	median ridge on side A, with a much less pronounced median	this one in Kane Co., UT
	ridge in the center of side B. Even though the very tip is slightly	(details to buyer)
	asymmetrical with a diagonal edge, this one is completely intact
	as it was made and used long ago. An exceptional piece!

Item:	Type: Core Stone	Provenance:	Price

	and traits that I couldn't help myself. A well-used, very colorful brown,	who recovered this one from

Item:	Type: Large Scraper	Provenance:	Price
TGRFT7	A very large, for type, light blue, tan and gray uni-faced novaculite	Offered by the original finder	24.00
	Scraper. It retains a "pitted" section of the outer host nodule's cortex	who recovered this one from

BBFT1	A simply breath-taking, very long light blue flint	Recovered in	3800.00
	Corner Tang Knife blade having very thorough	Bell Co., TX

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
RPFT10	A very large, broad and well made light gray chert with pinkish hues Refugio	Recovered from	800.00
	Knife form. It's very well flaked on both faces by a very experienced knapper	Leon Co., TX
	with a long single flute channel leading from the base of side A for a length of
	2-3/8". It has a few, slight flake scar ledges, which is to be expected from
	such a large item. A GREAT collection centerpiece item which dates to the
	Archaic period between 2000 and 4000 years old. This beauty is illustrated in
	Greg Perino's "Selected preforms..." book 3, page 132.	Ex: Greg Perino

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price

	is well flaked on both faces with percussion flaking patterns leading to the	Pedernales River, Texas
	vertical centerline of the blade and with slight vertical steps remaining from
	the knapping process. It shows good secondary pressure flaking to the
	edges with basal thinning. Just a superior piece which dates between the
	Archaic to Woodland periods between 2000 and 5000 years old.	Ex: Greg Perino

RPFT12	A very attractive tan flint Crescent Knife form which is well flaked	Recovered from	300.00
	on both faces with good secondary pressure flaking edgework,	Bastrop Co., TX

	the Paleo to Archaic periods between 8000 and 10,200 years old.	Ex: Greg Perino

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
RPFT13	A dull tan chert hafted knife blade "recycled" from a Marcos point, and	Recovered from	85.00
	having a small diagonal light brown flat section in the middle of side A from	Uvalde, TX
	the host stone's outer cortex. Flaking is thorough on both faces but by a
	somewhat inexperienced knapper. It shows ancient usage wear to the tip
	and a more recent nick to the tip of the single remaining barb. It dates back
	to the Archaic to Woodland periods, between 1800 and 3500 years old.	Ex: Greg Perino

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
CHFT9	A mottled gray and brown petrified wood hafted spokeshave salvaged	Found in Polk Co., TX	30.00
	and re-worked from a damaged corner-notched point. By artifact	(Offered by original finder)
	association it dates back to the Archaic through Woodland periods and
	is between 1,000 and 3,200 years old. An interesting artifact.

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
CHFT13	A very sturdy mottled gray and brown petrified wood Archaic Knife	Found in Polk Co., TX	150.00
	blade which strongly resembles the Okanogan Knife form from other	(Offered by original finder)
	western states in the Far Western regions. Made on a good-sized,
	reasonably thick sliver of petrified wood, it has thorough pressure flaking
	patterns along all of it's cutting edges and has a smoothed flat base. It
	was most likely a handheld knife and, by artifact association, dates to the
	Archaic through Woodland periods, between 1,000 and 3,200 years old.

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
CHFT14	A somewhat rustic and slightly crude mottled brown and tan petrified	Found in Polk Co., TX	85.00
	wood Dallas Saw blade form. It retains most of the outer cortex in the	(Offered by original finder)
	center of both faces and is only intricately flaked around the edges to
	form nice serrations to accomplish it's task. It has no tip, as one wasn't
	needed for sawing purposes. Somewhat of a scarce piece dating to the
	Archaic through Woodland periods, between 1,500 and 4,000 years old

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
CHFT15	A very colorful, interesting and slightly crude mottled red, gray and	Found in Polk Co., TX	125.00
	brown petrified wood Refugio Knife Blade dating to the late	(Offered by original finder)
	Archaic period between 2,000 and 4,000 years old. It's bifacially
	worked along a single cutting edge (left side in photo 3), although
	not intricately, while the opposing edge was left in a natural, rough
	form. It shows small sections of the original outer cortex of the
	petrified wood host stone and is just a very unusual piece.

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
CHFT10	A nice medium-sized tan and red jasper Refugio hafted knife	Found in Polk Co., TX	75.00
	blade, well flaked on both faces with a slight ancient usage nick	(Offered by original finder)

	and is between 2,000 and 4,000 years old.

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
CHFT11	A somewhat crudely formed, fast & dirty gray and tan chert Refugio	Found in Polk Co., TX	30.00
	knife form. Created on a spawl and mostly formed through percussion	(Offered by original finder)

	Archaic period and is between 2,000 and 4,000 years old.

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
CHFT12	A most interesting and quite colorful, almost uni-faced mottled brown and	Found in Polk Co., TX	35.00
	tan chert Flake Knife Blade. Side A is well flaked with the exception of a	(Offered by original finder)
	rough reddish cortex section remaining on the base. Side B is thoroughly
	pressure flaked around the cutting edges only, and retains a vertical flat in
	it's entire center from the surface of the original flake's form. A most
	interesting blade dating (by artifact association) back to the Archaic
	through Woodland periods, between 1,000 and 3,200 years old.

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price

	Woodland periods and is between 1,000 and 3,200 years old.

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
CHFT1	A plain-jane, crudely flaked gray quartzite pentagonal knife form	Found in Polk Co., TX	20.00
	which appears to be all but spent. By artifact association it dates	(Offered by original finder)
	back to the Archaic through Woodland periods and is between
	1,000 and 3,200 years old.

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
CHFT6	A fairly crude tan and reddish jasper/chert knife form. It's fairly thick and	Found in Polk Co., TX	18.00
	sturdy with a ragged base and as a knife form, it was probably in it's final	(Offered by original finder)
	stages of usefulness. By artifact association it dates back to the Archaic
	through Woodland periods and is between 1,000 and 3,200 years old.

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
JAFW35	A very good-sized semi-translucent, slightly diagonally banded	Recovered from	700.00
	obsidian Early Archaic Cascade Knife form having a "knobbed" base.	Lake Co., OR
	Made by a (near?) master knapper, it shows very intricate oblique
	transverse flaking patterns coupled with flatter sections left from the
	percussion flaking stage. Obviously a blade which the creator felt that
	he would be using for a long time. It has what appears to be a very
	slight ancient nick on one edge near the tip (photo 8), but is otherwise
	"all there" as it was anciently made and used. Just an exceptional piece.		dlfw

	This beauty must have been HUGE in it's earlier incarnations, and	found in Crook Co., OR
	was anciently resharpened down to the point of exhaustion as
	evidenced by the very obvious hafting line shown in photos 1 and
	4. The surfaces on both side A and side B are mostly flat in the
	center from the form of the original host stone. Slightly crude, but
	still an excellent study in ancient tool manufacture and use.		dlfw

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
VAFT4	A quite interesting and crude Archaic Cascade brown jasper	Offered by original	35.00
	Knife blade, obviously made by a very junior, inexperienced	finder’s family members,
	knapper who was probably just learning the art of flint knapping.	found in Crook Co., OR
	It has flaking patterns on both faces and shows traits of repeated
	use and ancient resharpening over time. An interesting tool.

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
VAFW2	A nice, broad black obsidian Archaic bi-pointed Cascade Trade Blank which	Offered by original	200.00
	was obviously used as a Knife blade in it's present form. It retains much of the	finder’s family members,
	cursory direct percussion trimming-flaking patterns on both surfaces with	found in Harney Co., OR
	intricate secondary pressure flaking patterns along selected sections of it's

	Blank which shows a lot of percussion reduction flaking on both	finder’s family members,	12/3 ON-HOLD wm
	faces. It has secondary pressure flaking patterns to 3 of it's 4 cutting	found in Harney Co., OR
	edges where it was sharpened for use as a knife blade in it's interim
	stages in ancient times. It shows a good amount of caliche deposits
	on side B most likely from it's sitting on the edge of a lake bed as it
	dried up over the many years. A worthy piece priced right!		dlfw

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
VAFW11	A fairly thin (for material) medium gray fine-grained basalt Cascade	Offered by original	130.00
	Knife blade, well worked on both faces with the exception of a 25%	finder, found in
	vertical flat section on side B (photos 3 & 5) left over from the original	Crook Co., OR
	host stone's cortex. Basalt is near impossible to work very well, but
	the ancient knapper did a pretty good job with this one. It's a bit on
	the rustic side, but is still a valid truly well used ancient artifact.		dlfw

	center of side B, and is just quite a fascinating very ancient tool.		dlar1

CHFT2	A most interesting mottled light brown, tan and deep red petrified	Offered by the original	30.00

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
DFFT12	An absolutely GORGEOUS diagonally banded greenish-gray and	Modoc Co., CA	235.00
	black obsidian Archaic Cascade Knife blade. This one is well made
	and well used, showing experienced secondary pressure flaking
	around the edges in a fashion which says "only as necessary" (to
	conserve the host material for long-term use) It has a very small lateral
	nick to one edge near the tip, but is otherwise "all there" as anciently
	made and used. Quite an attractive piece and I believe that this is the
	first one we've handled which has this unique colored banding

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
MMFT15	A nice, fairly large bi-pointed Cascade Shouldered Knife	Found in Lake Co., OR	275.00
	blade made on a HUGE thick flake. Side A retains a vertical
	section which shows the original percussion flaking marks in
	the center, while the remaining area of side A is expertly and
	intricately worked with detailed pressure flaking scars. Side B
	retains a 50% flat area in the center (photos 4 & 5) from the
