The lot features three early archaic Neolithic points which includes a Mid-Back Tang Knife, Northern Side Notch point and Ensor Split Base. The first is the Northern Side Knotch point which shows two distinct "U" side notches with an excurvate blade and concave base or stem end. The piece is in well preserved condition having a purple or lavender speckled flint and dating to 7,500-6,400 B.P. (measures 3.5"L). Next is a Mid-Back Tang Knife which shows a side corner "U" notching which is also present at the basal stem and and a straight blade. The piece is dating to 4,000-1,500 B.P. (meaures 3.25"L). Lastly is an Ensor Split Bas or Ensor Frio point which shwos an incurvate long blade with needle point and basal notching which shows a barbed blade end and barbed slightly curved stem that is "V" cut at the base. This point is from 2,200-1,400 B.P. (measures 3"L). These all appear to be in good condition and of an early age. Said to have been collected by Craig Turner in the 1930's.
