CHGP1 A (mostly) paper-thin mottled brown, red and gray petrified wood Unclassified Corner- Found in 250.00
notched Arrowhead created by a master knapper. Petrified wood is one of the most difficult Polk Co., TX
materials to knap, not only because of the hardness of the host material, but also because of (Offered by the
the unpredictability of the layered sections with petrified wood. The creator of this beauty original finder)
managed to thoroughly flake both faces, with especially intricate and detailed patterns
around the edges, leaving shallow serrated edgework. The base was anciently snapped,
most likely as part of the normal manufacturing process and it's single flaw is a "dip" in the
center of the face on side B, caused by a rougher layer in the host stone, and leaving a
noticeable horizontal "step" at the centerline of this piece. (indicated by the red arrow in the 
4th photo above.) Still one of the best petrified wood pieces we've ever seen! It dates to the
late Archaic-Woodland eras between 2,000 and 3,500 years old, by artifact association
from the same site. (It resembles the Catahoula type, but is from a much earlier time period)

A Note On Stockton Points

In this release we have another short run of Stockton points.

  Franciscan chert Stockton Arrowhead which displays traits of the in Marin Co., CA
Contra Costa type's influence, showing the carry-over in technology
between the earlier Contra Costa point type to the later period rare 
Stockton types. Stockton points are always made from obsidian, which
makes this one EXTREMELY RARE, being made from the California
specific lithic, Franciscan chert. This is the only Stockton we've ever
seen made from a material other than obsidian. Obviously created by a
Master knapper, as Franciscan chert is quite difficult to work with.
