Made of hornstone, this Warrick county, Indiana, Benton Bottle Neck is 'Overstreet typical" for these Mid Archaic (6500BP) Bentons--it even has some degree of the transverse knapping scars that make Bentons and Elk River points so collectible. That (to me) was some of the highest skilled flint knapping of any culture--"ribbon flaking" is how one old collector I learned from described it. Being Mid Archaic, there is naturally no stem grinding (basal edge), but I can find some dulling on the sides of the stem--not a great deal, but it was important for the sharp edges to be dulled, not cut through the sinew that was used when hafting the knife. Length here is just under 2&3/4"--likely started as a considerably longer knife--5" Bentons--or more--are not unusual if you find one before the blade was repeatedly sharpened. Width is 1&1/8"--again, that's what you'd expect from this culture--near the tip the thickness reaches 7/16", so that's another indicator the blade was considerably longer (stage one form). The knapped fashioned a needle tip, and as it wasn't worn-down you know the blade was lost shortly after the last sharpening--i.e. no weardown. GREAT patina, guaranteed authentic in every possible detail. Shipping is $8.00, checks or M.O.s are how I welcome payments--sorry, I do not use paypal-type services--Roy A.
