PAGE 1
This is one of Roy Miller's more famous button-base
Dovetails. Its
fame has been established by appearing
in print one or more times
and by being a fine example
of Roy's flintknapping skill. His
ability to duplicate these
stylish early Archaic points is well
known. But, most of
all, it's famous for the color. This heat treat
piece of Flint
Ridge has all the colors and some of them, like the
deep
green is rare. It's been called the "Green River Dove"
because
of a band of green that meanders along one side.
This point measures
5 11/16 inches (14.5 cm) long.
