Point, Chipped Stone1965-30/1

Dark grey lanceolate chert point broken near base. Two pieces glued together. This point was on loan to John L. Fagan from 2/3/2005 to 3/18/2005 in order to prepare a paper for presentation at the 58th Annual Northwest Anthropological Conference in Spokane, WA. Fagan analyzed the point to determine manufacture, raw material type, and technological attributes. He concluded that the artifact appears to be the point of a thrusting spear, which broke on impact with an animal. He speculates that the wounded animal subsequently wandered into the deep recesses of a lava tube cave in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, where the point was found. This analysis is described in Fagan's report entitled, "Technological Analysis of a Point from Spearpoint Cave, a Lava Tube on the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Skamania County, Washington." A copy of this March 2005 report can be found in the object's accession file.
