crawley ridge chert

This nice ponchartrain type I blade is made from crawley ridge chert, and was found in N. Mississippi. This type dates to the mid-archaic period. Has good surface mineral deposition present, and extensive ancient resharpenings have given it a slight bevel, and nice microserrations from fine archaic style pressure edgework. The barbs are also exaggerated from this resharpening, which is a hallmark characteristic of this type Great example of a type that one doesnt always run across.
