Some artifacts, they don't have to be a G-10, they just have to have "that feel" when you pick them up--guaranteed you'll find it when you hold this Vanderburgh County, Indiana, hornstone knife. Once upon a time there may have been some sort of stem--the flaking patterns tell me it's Early archaic Culture (7500BP), but was it a cornernotched type--that's my 'best guess'--you don't see blade edge beveling so you can rule out Lost Lakes, although the missing stem could have been an early stage Dovetail. Regardless of the culture that fashioned the piece, it just feels GOOD. Length is slightly over the three inch caliper line, width is 1&11/16"--the 3/8" thickness tells of a strong blade--so how'd they break it??? Ancient modifications of the tip area indicate it became a hand-held tool; also, the one side has what looks like (based on the patina change) later period damage. There is enough "re-patination" that I would think some later culture (Woodland) found and utilized the knife. Guaranteed real, period--it's been in my collection for some time, and welcome here for the next thirty years (if I'm still around). Shipping is $8.00, checks, cash, money orders welcomed. Sorry, I do not use paypal-type services--Roy A.
