     This notched biface was found broken. The break

may have been caused by ground pressure or a

combination of a flaw in the stone & ground pressure

or freezing and thawing. This notched biface is very

similar to the slightly larger one it was found with

and was most probably made by the same craftsman.

They were both made of Burlington chert from the area

around Avon in Illinois or Keokuk in Iowa. This one

measures approximately 11 inches (27.9 cm) long and

4 inches ( 10.2 cm) wide
