Paleo uniface knife

[Th3rty7]

Upper Mercer from Ohio. I've included some recent drawings of the piece. It looks smaller than real size in the last pic because of the angle I shot it at.

That a great drawing. Did you do it in pencil? I have some friends that have had items sketched from their collection to frame. Is the Mercer knife yours? You should offer your services on sketches. Nice

Thanks, it's black pen. Yep it's mine, x Todd Harding. Appreciate the comments, I mostly draw them for my own record, but also learn alot about the piece when breaking it down into a quick sketch. Mostly uniface pieces as of late.

Limace.

It takes me while sometimes : (

Nice one, too.

Striking platform unmodified is interesting and unusual.

Hard-hammer bi-polar percussion -- probably began as a split cobble.

Hard-hammer-bi-polar, I see it! Nice to see how you handled drawing a uniface surface too thirty7. both are nice works of art.

It's hard to argue with that, the shape and flaking is consistent with the other limace pieces I've seen and own. The overall thickness is what has me second guessing. towards the end opposite of percussion bulb it gets very thin. The other limace pieces have a uniform thickness and dont appear to have much evidence of the original flake.

Largely the same with this one (tapering tip & no BP)

Looking very similar as far as side view goes. Ever figure out the material on that piece? is it high grade Boyles? nice one.
