5 Pc Paleo-Indian Style Lithic Tools

Description

This exceptional 5-piece set showcases a range of early North American lithic styles, most notably featuring Agate Basin and Eden-style lanceolate forms. The collection is dominated by a long, slender dark chert blade exhibiting classic collateral pressure flaking, alongside a broader, translucent brown flint biface that echoes the Plainview or Dalton tradition. Crafted from diverse materials including high-quality chert and possible Hixton Silicified Sandstone, these pieces demonstrate the sophisticated "thinning" techniques prized by Paleo-period knappers. The items are in well-preserved condition, showing authentic age-related patination, minor edge calcification, and typical micro-flaking along the margins from prehistoric use or recovery. H 5", W 1.5", D 0.25". Please see photos.
