PUEBLO KNIFE (CAST) ANASAZI ERAPUEBLO II-III, A.D. 900 - 1300 WALLACE RUIN MONTEZUMA CO., COLORADO This very thin bifacially flaked knife was found during excavation at Wallace Ruin near Cortez, Colorado. Bifacially flaked artifacts, other than projectile points and drills, are not common in Pueblo II-III sites (Bradley 1988). This knife was expertly crafted by its maker who used superb percussion thinning. This blade is a Pueblo II-III knife that dates approximately A.D. 900 - 1300. It's made of dark gray Burro Canyon quartzite and measures 4 7/16 inches long. It most probably would have been hafted onto a short handle made of either antler, bone or wood. |
