content: Style: Shouldered spade Raw Material 2: Silicified Luster: LS1 Shape/Form: Spatulate Working Shape: Convex Edge Modification: Gross bifacial retouching Manufacturing Notes: Intense longitudinal grinding on bit and poll. Better bevel at bit. Both prox & distal ridges are extremely smoothed and striated. Surface Modification: Ground Residue: Light brown sediment Use Trace: Some of the polish could be from use. Symmmetrical shouldering. Comments: Identical to spades in Dr. James A. Brown ( The Artifacts. Second Part of the Third Annual Report of Caddoan Archaeology, 1976: fig 40). JAB calls this raw material silicified siltstone, wheras a geologist thought it was traprock or basalt, at least something of volcanic origin. Part record 1 of 2
