If it takes you more than one glance to say "That's real" I'll be very, very surprised. Length is a very long 3&7/8" by 1&13/16", and at the absolute thickest spot on the medial ridge (a tiny stack in the flint) my caliper closes on 7/16". While the Warrick County, Indiana, Dove was bevel sharpened there weren't a great number of sharpenings of the blade, the bevel is 'moderate', not a sharp angle that would have shown repeated blade edge sharpening. Note the interesting rounding of the Dove base--it was original to the piece, the rounding wasn't a result of basal salvage--first time I've seen a Dove made this way in my half century of collecting--learn something new all the time (as one should). Barb end chips, slight use-made damage are 100% patinated--the rounded tip also is from the 7500BP Early Archaic usage. Now why the blade edge 'ding' still shows a dark center is something no one could fully answer; at its outer edge it's patinated that grayish-brown, same as the color of the big chip on the inner side--only the center of the chip shows dark flint. "Just the way the flint patinated (with time) is the only answer I can provide--ain't new, lol. I welcome checks or money orders, but on this store you cannot use paypal--sorry--Roy A.
