   This heavily patinated eccentric is one of 26 that was

found inside of a ceramic container. It is uniformly

flaked on both sides and is one of the better crafted

examples out of the cache. The design is a crescent
with outside wide-spaced serrations. The inside of the

crescent was left with two projections rather than a smooth

edge.  Most crescent shaped "eccentric flints" seem to

have a smooth inside edge. Small specks of red pigment,

that may be cinnabar, can be seen on this eccentric. This
eccentric measures 3 9/16 inches (9.1 cm) long.
