Other Chipped Stone Artifacts

Chipped stone tools were relatively uncommon at Lawhorn and are typified

in Figure 22. Number 1 and 2 are unifacial thumb nail scrapers. Number 3

is a reworked projectile point while numbers 4 and 5, are fine pointed

drills or scrapers. Number 6 is a graver.

One large tool showed a good work polish and also indications that it

had been resharpened (Fig. 22;7). It was 7 cm. wide and 15.5 cm. long.

There were several flint fragments showing a high degree of work polish

which came from similar type tools.

Two chipped and polished celts were found. One of these was 3 cm. wide

in the center and 2.4 cm. at the bit. It was 7.5 cm. long but broken so

that the true length could only be estimated at perhaps 10 cm. This was

a chisel type of tool. The second specimen was made by removing large

flakes over two faces to give a crude hand axe type of specimen 8 cm. ×

4.5 cm. × 2 cm. thick. Work polish was evident on the highest portions

of the surface.
