Beautiful Transparent Crescent
This crescent was purchased as part of a collection that had many petrified wood points in it. So i assume it was from the west. This transparent beasuty is very well made.
Snyders
This is a very nice Hopewell culture arrowhead. It is a Snyders Point. It is from the Late Archaic Period to Early Woodland period. It was purchased at a southern Indiana Farm auction in the 1960’s As always this is guaranteed to be old and authentic.
Uniface Blade
This is a blade with micro-chipping edgework on one side. It is difficult to see it in the pictures but one edge has very fine Paleo style flaking.
Indiana Adena
This is a nice Late Archaic to Early Woodland Adena Culture point. It is well made with high quality flint and is very symmetrical.
Abrading Stone
This is a very nice abrader/shaft straightener. It shows much abrading use wear on all ssurfaces with a shaft straightener on one side.
Copena Articulate
Here is a very well made Late Archaic Period point. It is pretty thin and has excellent symmetry.
Beautiful Thin Celt
This is a beautiful celt. It is very well made from a highly polished hardstone with a lot of Ironstone or hematite in it. It is very heavy and appears almost rusty with patina. It has been ground to only 1/2″ thick. Extremely thin for its length. You can still see the pecking marks and the scraping marks left by the maker. This fine piece was purchased at a southern Indiana museum auction in the late 1960’s.
Double Ended Roller Pestle
This is a nice pestle that shows signs that it was used in various positions both vertically and horizontally. It shows use wear on the sides and both ends.
Nutting Stone
This is a great example of a nutting stone that also shows signs of use as a hammerstone. Both sides are deeply indented. The tips of the triangles shape are heavily nicked and chipped showing signs of use as a hammerstone. These pitted rocks were used for various jobs. The indentations made a great spot to grip the stone to use as a hammer stone to possibly chip flint for making tools. It was probably also used to hold the spindle of a fire starter. The indentations were also used to grind and crack nuts. (thus the name) These were used by the First Peoples throughout ancient American history so it could be 300 to 11,000 years old.
Lerma Round Base
This is a well made and nicely symmetrical blade. I believe it is made of Indiana Green Chert (Attica) with white lightning streaks on both sides.
Flaked Hoe
Here is a nicely flaked hoe. It still shows the outer core from the flint nodule from which it was made. It was fashioned mainly by percussion flaking with a little pressure flaking along the working edges. The edges show some smoothing from use wear. It was probably from the Late Archaic Period when the Native Americans first started planting crops in Indiana around 3,000 to 4,000 years ago. It was legally recovered while surface hunting in Miami County.
