content: Style: Non-haft Raw Material 2: Mississippian Reed Spring Raw Material Source: S. Ozarks Luster: LS1 Shape/Form: Incurvate Base: Convex Edge Modification: Retouch projection on pebble. Alteration: Heat Manufacturing Notes: Made on pebble, so that cortex covers approx 1/3 of surface area. Base is unworked. Unlikely to have been hafted given thick round base so this is a manual drill. An interesting type and one that supports Dickson's (D. Dickson, Lithic Raw Materials in the Southern Ozark Highlands, 1989) assertion that Reed Springs cherts are found as small nodules. Residue: Brown sediment. Use Trace: Scar at tip. Probably a stress shear fracture.
