08-307 Decatur Fractured Base Point
made from raw, honey colored, translucent Flint River Georgia chert. This is an Early Archaic corner notch
variety with a unique feature. The edges of the base have been
fractured off by the removal of tiny burin flakes from the corners
of the stem. Also, the sides of the stem were treated the same way.
This is one of the nicest specimens of the type I have made to date,
it glows when held up to the light! Length, 2 15/16 inches. Price, $30.
For more on these points, see my article in The Best Of CHIPS The Third Five Years, pages 112-117. |

08-320 Besant-type Archaic Corner Notch point made from Knife River chalcedony from North Dakota. As the story goes, a swamp was buried, turned into lignite, then "silicified," turning it into chalcedony. This formation was later eroded out and the chalcedony is now found as cobbles in the resulting gravel. When this point is held up to the light, it is a beautiful translucent, honey color with white flicks showing. These specks are pieces of fossilized cattail leaves from the old swamp! Length, 2 7/8 inches. Price, $20. |
