Out of a Carbondale, Illinois, collection a few years back, a Paleo I put back as the form is clearly Paleo (as is the no-brainer patina), but the workmanship, you wonder if this was some young knappers' first attempt? The auriculate base was formed, the lower lateral edges were ground. There is just enough grinding and flattening in the base-center that if a flute was next, the knapper had built the 'platform' needed for the flute strike--for whatever reason the flute was never made, though--instead a few very light thinning flakes were removed. Length is slightly under 1&11/16" by 1", and max thickness is 5/16". The4 face of the Paleo dart is so smoothed it's seem most of the surface was covered by the dart shaft--either deliberate or accidental, the use polish to each face is heavy. Chert--either Avon Chert, or something very close to that western Illinois flint. Shipping is $5.00, checks or M.O>s are welcomed. Sorry, I do not use paypal--Roy A.
