4” Adena Blade from Whippoorwill

[Whippoorwill]

Here a few findings from yesterday. The blade is rough and maybe a preform. I have a hundred of these nice broken points, but have only found a few nice ones.

Interesting finds, looks like you have a Crescent blade those are usually found out west nice find. Blades are also neat.

[Whippoorwill]

You are right. Crescent knifes are usually associated with Paleo period. My finds included what is referred to as a Lamellar Blade. They are usually a “uni-Face core piece” with razor sharp micro edging applied. They would have been used for skinning small animals, cutting vegetation with maybe the occasional hair cut. I have collected thousands from the Whippoorwill Site in South Logan County Kentucky. More than likely there was a mound complex in this area.

Bet your thirsty countryside drinking it in! We’re having fairly bad little drought now in my part of Georgia.
