Sometimes you pick up a point and wonder what the heck they did with it--what'd they use the piece for due to ancient wear and-or damage. This Early Archaic Thebes, what's puzzling here is that the blade edges are as battered as though the point had been used to smooth a rock--doesn't make sense, but under 10x power the work is ancient, there aren't the tiny white hinge fractures you'd find on modern damage. The 'blunting' of the edges goes around the tip, too, it's super-heavily worn. History & measurements: Gibson County, Indiana, hornstone, 2&3/8" by 1&3/8", and a thickness of 3/8"--that thickness would indicate a far larger blade as the piece was first made as the thickest area is near the tip. I've owned a lot of Thebes (I collect them), but have no ready explanation for this one--I only know it's real. Shipping is $7.00, checks or M.O>s are welcomed. Sorry, I do not use paypal--Roy A.
