klamath River Blade
« on: February 09, 2014, 12:07:35 pm »
i found this pic in an old folder. if i remember correctly it was at the 'Portland Art Museum'
anyways the blade was close to 2' in length maybe a little longer. but i wasnt impressed with the length. what was so beautiful about it was its uniformity and carfefully placed flake scars i wish i had better pics but the alarm kept going off everytime i got close and security was already tired of me from when i was getting photos of the bentwood boxes:D

Nice. Helluva piece of work there. Wonder what they used it for. Find points and flakes all the time on My property by Bly Mountain, but never anything like that...
