A fairly thick and sturdy

Recovered from |
200.00 |
|
Triangular Hafted Knife
blade from the Early Archaic period, between |
Lake Co., OR |
|
|
2500 and 7000 years old. It's very well flaked on both
faces mostly by
|
|
|
|
wide indirect percussion. It has minor usage wear to
the edges but is
|
|
|
|
essentially a problem-free piece. It displays very
interesting hafting |
|
|
|
preparation to the base, with side B having the only
direct percussion flake |
|
|
|
apparent, which ends at a slight step to act as a
hafting stop, and side A has |
|
|
|
very similar traits except that the hafting channel
flakes were created through |
|
|
|
indirect percussion rather than by direct percussion.
A nice, worthy piece.
