Shipping comes with the price on this Kentucky Cumberland--ex Bill Droll Collection from when he was younger, growing up in the Elizabethtown, Kentucky, area. This Ft. Payne Chert Cumberlaand was a "start"--the Paleo knapper actually got fairly far along with the 'build', but fought with a thick stack along the medial ridge--fully 1/2" thick near the break-off. It looks like the ancient knapper tried to flute the one face, perhaps thinking that'd thin the blade--one photo shows the flute in close up. On the reverse it looks like the knapper was trying to build a fluting 'platform" without much success--you can spot the couple thinning flakes removed so the base is actually fairly thin (1/4" thickness a short way up the Paleo body). Total length is 1&13/16" by 7/8" width. Both lower lateral edges are already ground, but you can't locate more than slight dulling on the basal edge. Note on the snap-off-line you can find work polish, so the Lance was used as a sort of "Hafted Scraper--particularly on the more flat face the work polish is very strong, the tool had long usage. Realizing some will look at the piece as a "cast off", I think it's easy to miss that this is a 10--12,000 year old tool that shows you a whole lot about how a Cumberland Culture knapper worked--and it's real. I welcome checks or M.O.s, but do not use paypal-type services--Roy A.
