Item Details
Description
**Originally Listed At $800**

Native American, Southern United States, Boone County Missouri, Mississippi County Arkansas, Late Archaic to Late Woodlands, Adena and undefined, ca. 3000 to 1200 BP (1000 BCE to 800 CE). A fine collection of 9 stone tools that are hand-knapped to serve a variety of purposes. All are made from chert in hues of creamy white, gray, and beige. The largest is elongated with two slightly convex faces and a pointed tip, with an opposite wider end that could be used as a hand tool or hafted onto a handle. Several others have a similar shape, but are different sizes. Two are projectile points, with short necks for hafting, small fins, and serrated edges that come to pointed tips. One is circular with a flat side and slightly convex side, perhaps a scraper, and the others are fragments of large tools, but exhibit pointed tips and polished smooth surfaces. A great variety of forms that may have been for hunting, scraping, digging, or other purposes! Size (largest): 6.5" L x 2" W (16.5 cm x 5.1 cm); (smallest): 2" L x .75" W (5.1 cm x 1.9 cm)
