greenish-tan and off- |

white chert High Desert Knife Blade having mostly
percussion flaking to

the middle sections of side A, with very minute
pressure flaking to the

|
|
|
edges of side A. Side B is off-white, purple and gray
in color and the
|
|
|
|
flaking patterns mimic those of side A. It must have
been tossed around in |
|
|
|
the water for a period, as it has a few edge nicks
which occurred well
|

|
after the piece was made, but these are quite aged as
