Description

A grey to cloudy white chert point. It has a relatively blunt tip, convex margins, moderately small corner-notches, and a slightly convex base. One face of the point has written, "Marion Co. Ind.," and "17." --they are in two different inks. There is no definitive record that says that this specimen belongs with the 1971-42 collection. Greengo's notes for this box (6D21, Box 9.0) list it as this accession, but offered no details concerning how he reached this conclusion. The 1971-42 accession files lists a large number of points--R.C. Dunnell "typed" a sample of them (Cat# 1971-42/1), all of which has the same numbered lettering as the above. In Dunnell's list, he has #17 containing only one specimen, which has been accounted for. This may belong to a different catalog number however. JLF 04/30/03
