ETLEY POINT
SCOTLAND COUNTY, MISSOURI
GLEN LEESMAN COLLECTION
RETURN TO PAGE 1

     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
down to a very sharp point. This Etley point may have

been resharpened one or more times. It measures

5 15/16 inches (15.1 cm) long.

Colorful Etley point from Scotland County, Missouri.
