content: See Hough, Walter. "A New Type of Stone Knife." American Anthropologist, New Series, 29, no. 2 (1927): 296-98. http://www.jstor.org/stable/661470. On p. 296 it is noted that two flint objects in the collection of Victor J. Evans "... were found in a mass of flint implements and chips dredged from a lake at San Marcos, Hays Co., Texas ...". One of them was illustrated as Fig. 1, c, on p. 297. The object in the illustration appears to be a match for A375913, therefore this is probably one of the two objects referenced in the Evans collection. This object may be from the same site as objects from Accession 31778, year 1897, which were found while excavating for fish ponds next to to the Texas State University campus in San Marcos, Texas.
