CM-302 This
is a great piece. These are called "Kansas
Turkeytails" by collectors, they are also
commonly called "SEKANS" for SouthEast
Kansas, were this style was first identified.
Perino calls them Neosho Knives. Whatever you
call it, these are variations on the Harahey
knife. This one is a favorite of mine, I have
several on my site including two nice ones from
Greg Perino's collection. |

A 5 inch Eared Eden made of Hixton Quartzite, Ex- Gene Hynek |
|
AThis is
an unusual blade, even for Spiro. It looks more
like a digging tool than a knife. It was obviously hafted in the midsection. The tip looks like it has taken a beating, with a few impact fractures that have been resharpened over a few times. They didn't have much agriculture at Spiro, mostly hunting and foraging, maybe this was used to dig roots or something. Definitely a favorite of mine... it is just odd enough to fit in my collection. It is 9 1/2 inches long, 2 inches wide and almost an inch thick, made of some great banded Kay County Chert. It was found in 1957 by Carl Clevenger, an amateur archaeologist, one of the founding members of the Oklahoma Anthropological Society and Arkansas Archaeological society. |

If you like unique artifacts, this one is for you. A 4 1/4 inch Clovis which was picked up by a later culture and side notched. I am not sure if it is Flintridge or Boyle Chert. Found in Lorain Co., Ohio. (An interesting note: It is marked "Phelps" Robert Phelps was a hunter/digger/collector/dealer from Marion, Ohio, back in the 1930's and 40's. Mr. Phelps was employed by A.T. Wherle to excavate sites during the Great Depression. One of his expeditions took him to Oklahoma to dig at the Spiro Mound in May, 1935.) This piece is pictured in Indian Artifact Magazine 1997 16-3 on page 42 This Clovis comes with an American Antiquities COA Ex Jerry Dicky and Lyle Nickel Collections |

A killer 2 1/2" Butterfly Crescent from King Co., CA. |

This is a nice little 2" Humboldt probably from Nevada. What I really like about this point is how well it shows true transverse flaking, where the flakes run from one edge clear across the face of the blade. I frequently see points labeled as oblique transverse but few are truely transverse. The material in this one really helps to show the flaking. |
