Item Details
Description
Native American, Southeastern United States, Missouri, Eastern Woodland / Mississippian culture, ca 1000 to 1500 CE. A hand-knapped stone tool with two broad, convex faces made from a warm, beige chert. The wide, slightly straight edge is likely the handle or butt end, and the blade tapers to more pointed tip. The peripheries are flaked and relatively sharp as well. This blade may have been a hand tool or attached to a wooden handle to function as an adze. Stone tools served a variety of purposes, such as chopping, scraping, and digging. Knapping tools required patience and skill to create the desired shape without shattering the stone. This is a large and fine example! Size: 5.75" L x 2.25" W (14.6 cm x 5.7 cm)

Provenance: private southwestern Pennsylvania, USA collection, acquired prior to 2000
