NEW-3-pendant-knife

Pendant Knife
Archaic Period.
Cultural Context not known

This awesome artifact is now in my collection.

It was found on Chrisner's ranch near the Coryell and Bell Co. line. Ex - Bill Arnold.
I named this unusual artifact a pendant knife, but I haven't actually seen another like it.
It was made by modifying a piece of freeze fractured quart material and would have been worn around the neck like a cornertang knife. I expect that it was contemporary with one of the cornertang cultures (Castroville, Marcos or Ensor).
