Well the finder of this HUGE beautiful piece undoubtedly needed CPR in the field, a |
Recovered in |

VERY large and extremely well made semi-translucent, opalescent diagonally banded |
Lake Co., OR |
|
| |
obsidian Elko Corner Notched Knife form. Flaking patterns are very thorough on both |
|
|
| |
faces by a very advanced knapper. It retains a few (3) percussion flake marks in the very |
(more information |
|
| |
center of side A just below the horizontal midsection to just below the hafting line, and it |
to buyer) |
|
| |
also has a very interesting series of 6 horizontal percussion flake marks which "step |
|
|
| |
down" the face of side B. All areas surrounding the original percussion flake marks are |
|
|
| |
thoroughly and intricately pressure flaked in quite minute patterns. The diagonal duo-flow |
|
|
| |
banding needs a special mention, as the bands themselves are very closely spaced, which |
|
|
| |
is quite unusual for banded obsidian. The tip has two ancient usage chips (photos 7 & 9) |
|
|
| |
and the very tip of one of the basal ears was anciently nicked. Still a highly desirable |
|
|
| |
MONSTER of a piece which deserves "centerpiece status" in a worthy collection. |

original form. It's well worked on both faces mostly by initial |

percussion flaking with thorough pressure flaking to all 4 |
