  • Paleo Agate Basin??? how old?

    Trevor, that does appear to be an Agate Basin Base. The only thing that does trouble me somewhat is the flaking. On that material, it looks like it would be difficult to Knapp. Still a keeper for sure.
    Look to the ground for it holds the past!

        Taken from the data base of Overstreet, from this website.
        Agate Basin
        Time Period : 13200-8000 B.P.
        Location : Northern states from Pennsylvania to western states.
        Shape : Lanceolate
        Description:
        A medium to large size lanceolate blade of unusually high quality. Bases are either convex, concave or straight, and are usually ground. Some examples are median ridged and have random to parallel flaking
        Trevor, I deleted the duplicate post and add the how old to this heading. I hope thats ok.
