40.00 |

chert Wahmuza Knife blade. It's sturdy and thoroughly |
chert is a California specific |
|

flaked on both faces although without any spectacular |
lithic, so I'd place this one as |

flaking pattern. Just a well-used work-horse of a blade, |
coming from NE California |

which, judging from the width of the base, must have been |
|
|

HUGE in it's prime, and having more than one color in a |
