TPFT304	A fairly large (for type) Hafted Early Archaic	Lake Co., OR	40.00

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
ACFT4	A nice sized mostly black with some mahogany	Siskiyou Co., CA	35.00
	obsidian hand pick. (I'm assuming that these
	were used to dig out edible roots) One end
	was anciently nicked off. (photos 5 & 6)

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
ACFT2	A somewhat crude, but interesting burgundy	Siskiyou Co., CA	85.00
	Franciscan chert Hand Axe/chopper, most
	likely from the Paleo period between 10,000

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
TPFT305	A fairly crude mottled brown and tan chert Early	Lake Co., OR	10.00
	Archaic uni-faced combination Knife & Scraper tool	(Full history to buyer)

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
BYFT5	A nice sized blue-gray dacite Archaic Cascade	Offered by the original finder	18.00
	hafted Knife blade, created by a novice knapper	who found this one on his

	flaked with oblique transverse patterns by an advanced	who found this one on his
	knapper. It has an ancient lateral cut to one edge near	ranch in Harney Co., OR
	the tip (photo 6) and a few very small (about the size of	(details to buyer)
	the head of a pin) more recent surface nicks, most likely
	caused from improper storage. Still a neat little piece.

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
MMFT10	A gray iridescent obsidian stemmed Knife form	Napa Co., CA	25.00
	created in the somewhat "fast & dirty" fashion by a
	novice knapper. It's a bit on the crude side, but
	fascinating in it's ancient crude style. It has a couple
	of recent nicks to the tip. Recovered from a site
	having predominantly Stockton dart points.

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
MMFT12	A most interesting opaque black obsidian Cordilleran Knife	Napa Co., CA	45.00
	Blade made on a large flake and retaining some curvature
	from the original flake's form. It retains a larger vertical
	section of the original host stone's outer cortex on side B,
	which has filled in with mineralization, giving it a "wood-
	grain" appearance. Side B is almost uni-faced, having been
	worked mostly around the edges, whereas side A is
	thoroughly flaked in a random pattern. Recovered from a
	site having predominantly Stockton dart points.

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
MMFT13	A somewhat small (for type) uni-faced Quarry	Napa Co., CA	30.00
	Blank made on a fair-sized flake and utilized as a
	knife blade in it's interim stage. A nice meaty piece

	Pencil Drill which is well flaked to a
	median ridge on both faces.

	Okay, I just got the scoop from the owner of this blade. It seems that this one was owned by a science teacher who let his kids handle it, much to their excitement, I should imagine, and he mentioned that, as with all kids, this one was dropped more times than he could remember. So this accounts for the recent dings.

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
TPFT307	An interesting mottled brown and tan jasper Early Archaic	Lake Co., OR	30.00
	Flake Knife Blade, made on a flake and retaining 60% of the	(Full history to buyer)
	original flake's flat surface on side B and 40% of the flake's
	flat surface on side A. It has slight blue-white veining and the
	secondary pressure flaking is mostly around the edges and on
	the tip. I get the impression that this one was created by an
	advanced knapper who knew his stuff, but just didn't have
	the time to put more of an effort into this piece.

	edges. It has a lateral fracture leading from the tip
	down one edge (Left edge in photo 1) for a
	length of 7/8". A very nice looking item	Taylor COA

	Niobrara chert Shoshone Knife blade.
	Percussion flaked on both faces with slight
	secondary pressure flaking to the cutting edges.
	It's slightly asymmetrical and has an ancient
	nick near the tip, which appears to have been
	caused by overly aggressive flaking during the
	re-sharpening phase, still an attractive item	Taylor COA

	This one shows a fair amount of beveling from
	ancient re-sharpenings. Unfortunately it was
	broken and glued about 3/4" above the hafting
	area. From the seamless way that the two
	pieces join, I would judge the break to be an
	unfortunate modern mishap
