CUMBERLAND POINTS
MADE BY DAN THEUS
RETURN TO PAGE 1
These three large Cumberland points were made
by Dan Theus and the point in the center is the largest
that he has made to date. The long channel flakes were
pressured off with a mechanical fulcrum jig. The center
Cumberland point is made of hornstone and it measures
9 3/4 inches (24.7 cm) long, 2 3/16
inches (5.6 cm) wide
and 7/16 inch (1.1 cm) thick. The Cumberland point on the
left is made of Pedernales chert and measures 8 1/16
inches (20.5 cm) long and the one on the right is made
of agatized coral and it measures 7 1/8 inches (18.1 cm)
long & 1 11/16 inches (4.3 cm) wide.
