A POSSIBLE
RICHARD WARREN POINT
PRIVATE COLLECTION
RETURN TO PAGE 2

   This uniformly pressure flaked point was thought to have
been an anciently made point. However, close examination
of the surface flaking indicates that it was probably made

by flake-over-grinding. Some of the pressure flakes also

show "tearing" which may have been caused by a

mechanical flaking device. The surface patina also easily

washes off which indicates that it was artificially applied.

It was clamed to have been found in 1971 in North Dakota

which is a time frame well within Richard Warren's production

period. This point measures 5 1/2 inches (14 cm) long and

1 3/8 inches (3.4 cm) wide and the material seems to be

white Burlington chert.
