#837--A Buck Creek type with beveled edges, hornstn
In the Hopewell--Buck Creek cluster of points, a stem that makes you want to think the point is an Early Archaic point type, but the flaking is percussion chipping, not the pressure flaking of the Early Archaic period--too, there is no stem basal-edge grinding. As to why the edges were bevel sharpened, that's one where you study the point to try understanding "Why'd they do it that way?"...not sure I have an answer, but see what conclusion you come to--guaranteed authentic in every detail, patina doesn't lie. The point is made of hornstone, 2&3/16" by 1&1/4", it was found by the late Paul Richards in the Jefferson County, Illinois, area--he spent decades hunting sites along large, deep Illinois creeks, many, many sites he had to check out. Shipping is $9.00, checks, cash, or M.O.s are the ONLY way to pay as I do not use paypal-type services--Roy A.
