People who know me know I have a habit of collecting points in "End Stage"--it tells you a whole lot about the ancient hunter who owned the piece--exhausted Thebes being one of my favorites. This Dovetail from the Mattoon, Illinois, is a perfect example of a point (hafted knife) that sowed fine care and sharpening until there were few options---other than hafted scraper. Length is 1&3/8" by 13/16", and that medial ridge thickness of 3/8" would indicate a far longer blade, Hold the now small Dove with the tip towards you (see photo), you see how twisted the beveling turned out. Anyone, anyone who doesn't think this took the work of an artisan, they're dead wrong. On the angled tip you can feel work polish--wish I could say what they were scraping, but it was enough to somewhat polish the flint. Basal grinding is excellent. I'll have to include the flint type after a bit of review--seen it, have more points made of the material, but the name is out of reach. Note; the white area on the very tip is a fossil inclusion--others are seen along the body of the Dove. Shipping is $6.00 checks or M.O>s welcomed--cash too. Sorry, I do not use paypal--Roy A.
