Why do you say "cache blade" wascit found buried, were there other blades found with it at same time and location?
Sorry,let me clarify as I don't want to mis construe anyone.I used the term cache blade loosely,I do not know where member found it,So Yes if it was not found buried or with other blades,then my terminology is off.Most Native cultures in United States all had blades of some sort, and all different time periods,It all depends on material, location it is from and also shape and size to truly and accurately know exactly what balde it could be.Good looking out Thank you 👍Why do you say "cache blade" wascit found buried, were there other blades found with it at same time and location?
I don’t know. It was just given to me with no story about it.Why do you say "cache blade" wascit found buried, were there other blades found with it at same time and location?
Could this possibly be a Paleo ovoid knife?That is what is called a preform. The lack of secondary (tertiary) flaking being the key indicator. They would rough out a preform blank using percussion flaking, typically at the site where the material was quarried. Later on it would be knapped into a point using pressure flaking.
Ovoid knives are very thin. Yours is quarry blank. From the single pic, it looks like it’s flat on one side and humped on the other. That a typical reduction pattern. Those are quarry blanks called turtle backs.Could this possibly be a Paleo ovoid knife?
That is a great description of his blade. Very few turtle backs show secondary flaking or edge work proving they are blanks or used to strike off thin flake knives.Ovoid knives are very thin.
