- Lot Description
Native American, Midwestern United States, Illinois, Eastern Woodland, ca. 2200 to 1600 BCE. A great collection of hand-knapped stone tools all discovered from the same cache and made from a creamy white chert! Four are similarly shaped, like oversized guitar picks; one is long and rectangular, and the smallest is narrow and tapers to pointed tips at both ends. These tools were created by hitting a harder stone against the chert surface to flake each into the desired shapes. While a simple technique, it required skill and patience. Stone tools such as these served a variety of purposes for hunting and utilitarian use, and even may have been hafted onto wooden handles. The pick shapes could be hand-held scrapers for cleaning hides. An excellent collection from early Native American peoples! Size (rectangular): 5.5" L x 2.125" W (14 cm x 5.4 cm); (pointed): 5.5" L x 1" W (14 cm x 2.5 cm); (pick shaped): 4.375" L x 3" W (11.1 cm x 7.6 cm); Size in case: 16.125" W x 12.25" H (41 cm x 31.1 cm)
Provenance: private Kansas City, Missouri, USA collection, ex-John Townsend collection, formed in the 1970s and earlier
