RETURN TO PAGE 4

   This flared bit Cahokia style spud is a fine example.

It was found many years ago in Pike County, Illinois

and it has been kept in several old collections over

the years. This spud is made of Mill Creek chert from

southern Illinois. It was made by flaking it into shape

by percussion flaking, then grinding the surface until

almost all of the flake scars were removed. The final

step was polishing the entire surface.

Flared bit spud from Pike County, Illinois.
