| DFFT9 |
A very old mottled brown and tan Cascade Knife blade having crude flaking patterns. It was quite improperly cared |
It was found in the 1930's |
30.00 |
| |
for/stored and shows quite a bit of more recent (1940-ish) nicks around it's periphery and it also appears to have |
and belonged to a science |
|
| |
"modern" rechipping to the tip. Okay, I just got the scoop from the owner of this blade. It seems that this one was |
teacher in Washington with |
|
| |
owned by a science teacher who let his kids handle it, much to their excitement, I should imagine, and he mentioned |
no further provenance. |
|
| |
that, as with all kids, this one was dropped more times than he could remember. So this accounts for the recent dings. |

Recovered from |
700.00 |

obsidian Early Archaic Cascade Knife form having a "knobbed" base. |

Made by a (near?) master knapper, it shows very intricate oblique |

transverse flaking patterns coupled with flatter sections left from the |

percussion flaking stage. Obviously a blade which the creator felt that |

he would be using for a long time. It has what appears to be a very |
|
|
| |
slight ancient nick on one edge near the tip (photo 8), but is otherwise |

"all there" as it was anciently made and used. Just an exceptional piece. |
