LARGE AUTHENTIC BROWN CO., ILLINOIS DALTON PERIOD KNIFE WITH JOHN BERNER C.O.A.
THIS LARGE BURLINGTON CHERT KNIFE WAS FOUND IN BROWN COUNTY, ILLINOIS AND IT WAS FORMERLY IN THE COLLECTION OF JOHN SAMUEL. IT WAS AUTHENTICATED BY THE LATE JOHN BERNER IN FEBRUARY OF 2000 AT WHICH TIME HE CLASSIFIED IT AS A WADLOW. WHILE I AGREE WITH HIS ASSESSMENT THAT IT IS AUTHENTIC, IT PUZZLES ME AS TO WHY WOULD HAVE GIVEN IN A WADLOW DESIGNATION, A POINT (OR PREFORM...) WHICH IS GENERALLY FAIRLY THICK, STRAIGHT BASED, PERCUSSION FLAKED, AND HAS LITTLE TO NO EDGE RETOUCH. THIS POINT IS THIN WITH A CONCAVE BASE AND EXHIBITS EDGE RETOUCH. HE ALSO PUTS WADLOW IN THE 6500 BP RANGE WHICH IS OFF BY 4000 YEARS. TO ME IT IS CLEARLY AN EARLIER FORM. THE KNIFE MEASURES 5 1/4" BY 1 5/8" AND IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH EXCELLENT PATINA. IT IS GUARANTEED TO BE GENUINE.
