ETLEY
POINT This colorful Etley point is a very good example. Most Etley points are made of white Burlington chert. This one is made of a multi- colored light and dark blue/gray and orange piece of Burlington chert of good quality. This point is also wider than most examples. It has large corner notches on the base that form strongly barbed shoulders. The slightly recurved blade edges were finished with very nicely done pressure flaking.
The blade edges
near the point are steeply angled been resharpened one or more times. It measures 5 15/16 inches (15.1 cm) long. |
