| Description | This object is a lithic and is 3 ¼ inches long. The Catalogue Card concludes that this lithic was “probably converted from [a] clubhead.” The lithic is ovular and uniformly rounded until it narrows and is fractured. It has a smoothed band encircling the lower rounded part. Both the ANSP and loan numbers are visible and are placed on the fracture. The lithic is rough and has a pumice-like texture, especially on the ovular section. |
