- Item: FA630
- Description: Beautiful Carter Cave Chert Kays or McIntire -
This FINE Blade is made out of a striped piece of highly collectible Carter Cave Chert. It is either a Kays or a McIntire, and I believe the latter. The base is terminated in the original flat surface of the core that it was struck from. It has Great Symmetry and classic Knife shape. It has good flaking and nice barbed ears. There is one ancient burin type fracture from the base up the stem on one side that could have been caused by the hafting process. It was found by members of the Burgin & Day Families and this collection remained intact until we obtained it. All the pieces in this collection were found from 1930 through 1970 in the areas North and East of Richmond, Kentucky in Madison County. Ex- Shelby Burgin, Ex- Monty & Jewdy Pennington
- Size: 2 5/8 x 1 1/2 inches
