content: Original Catalog Number: 2912 Style: Celt Raw Material Source: Southern Ozarks Luster: LS1 Shape/Form: Ovoid Edge Modification: Bifacial thinning and secondary retouch Manufacturing Notes: Very rounded working edge. Clearly beveled edged. Use Trace: Much grinding on wide distal edge. Polish present elsewhere on ridges, esp at pointed end. Wide edge does appear to be the one used. I'd say for digging or something that necessitated repeated insertion into a soft material. No silica gloss on this beveled edge, but there may be striae (or these obvious lines are part of the chert matrix). The grinding is dull. Comments: Poll width taken 3 cm. from point. Function: hoe. Raw material is distinctive w/patches of fine brown mottles.
