On the Cover
This Kirk corner notched projectile features distinct and unusual colorations in
the material from which it was made. This Early Archaic (7500 to 8500
BP) artifact is not the result of heat treating. It was found in
Western Tennessee and has a polished/ground base and notches and
minor evidence of ferric oxide deposits. Originally much longer, it
has had several resharpenings according to Gregory Perino who examined
it in the mid 1990s. The distinct and unusual coloration is natural
in the Ft.Payne/ Muldraugh chert which is occasionaly
found in ranges of blue gray, tan mottling and reddish hues. This artifact
was formerly in the collections of Jasper Bailey, David P. Walsh
Sr., and Ray Franks. |
