**Originally Listed At $200**

Native American, Eastern to Midwestern United States, Eastern Woodland, ca. 200 to 1000 CE. A collection of 4 stone tools, 2 knapped chert blades with flaked surfaces and 2 celts with rounded more polished and ground surfaces. These likely served as hand tools for a variety of tasks, digging, cutting, grinding, etc. Of interest is the raised band encircling one of the celts - it appears as if the maker intentionally carved around the natural vein. Size of large blade: 4" L x 2" W (10.2 cm x 5.1 cm)
