Description
Native American, North America, Eastern Woodland, ca. 200 to 1000 CE. A hand-knapped chert stone tool with a rounded base and tapered tip. Boasting mottled hues of creamy beige, orange, and peach, the ancient implement presents two convex faces that are flaked to form a sharpened edge. The process for shaping this tool involved hitting a harder stone against the chert to flake or knap the surface into the desired form. Knapped stone tools such as this piece had a variety of uses such as axe heads, scrapers for cleaning hides, and digging for agricultural purposes. Lucite stand for photography purposes only. Size: 5.5" L x 1.875" W (14 cm x 4.8 cm)
