This dagger is a good representative example for one of the

styles within the type IV group of daggers. This one has a

beautifully flaked handle that flares out on the end plus very

well done "stitching" style of flaking on both edges and one

side. The blade shows evidence of grinding before a final

series of even and uniform flakes were removed by pressure

flaking. The cross-section of the handle is also very

diagnostic for this type, which is a wide three sided triangle.

This dagger measures 9 1/2 inches (24.1cm) long.
