| 547-2010) Hawken Side Notched Dart Point or Knife made of earthy colored agatized and opalized Columbia Plateau Petrified Wood. The maker used random percussion followed by a mix of random and selective pressure flaking to create a medium sized triangular knife with shallow side notches, overall the workmanship is quite good save for an opalized section of the petrified wood that was difficult to work and ended up with moderate stacking on the ventral face, still a good quality Archaic relic that grades G6.5 and measures approx 2 7/16". Ben Stermer issued a COA as a Plateau Side Notch which is a typology I have never heard off and respect his evaluation so am open-minded to learning something new all of the time, however I am familiar with Hawken as having owned a few and think this one could also type as such. Was reportedly from a small private family collection assembled during the 1950's near Vantage in Kittitas Co, WA, x David Fauske Coll, $150 obo |
