My title may be slightly over-simplified--there is a 'start' of a basal notch on one side, but for whatever reason the Early Archaic Decatur craftsman QUIT there. The piece is a superbly crafted Dover flint, needle tipped, thin, but explaining why, understanding what made him quit on the basal 'finish-out', I'm at a loss. I've owned the Christian County, Kentucky, piece since 2004, it sits on a frame with finished Decatur points as 'reference' to this one's "preform stage", but the phrase "It is what it is" is the best I can supply--length is an excellent 2&3/4" by 1&3/8", the thinness strikes you; only 5/16" at the single thickest spot--most of the blade length at 1/4" or thinner. The basal edge is heavily ground, all the way over to that "I'm going to cornernotch it here" indention--even the lower 1/2" (or more) of the lateral edges are ground. I would not have expected the lower blade edges to both exhibit grinding, so perhaps the piece was hafted exactly as-is...they just didn't fashion a base the way we'd expect. Sometimes, you know (and can lifetime guarantee) a piece is real but answers are simply not there. Shipping is $6.00, checks or M.O.s are welcomed--I ship the day after I receive the payment if at all possible, but please note I do not use paypal--Roy A.
