RETURN TO PAGE 2

   This is the largest Cache variety Thebes point in

this collection and it represents a classic example

for the type. This one has a concave base that is

heavily ground, large rectangular notches and a

rounded point. This Thebes point has straight blade
edges, that are only slightly beveled towards the

tip of the point, which indicates it may have been

resharpened at least once. This Thebes point

appears to be made of Avon chert. It measures 6

15/16 inches (17.6 cm) long, 2 15/16 inches (7.5 cm)
wide and 3/8 inch (9 mm) wide.
