7 3/4" North Alabama ~Tennessee River Basin ~ Greenstone Celt

Length: 7 3/4"

Grade: 8

Description: This nice large complete Woodland Celt is made of a light greenstone material. Made from a combination of manufacturing technics including flaking pecking and grinding. The bit is polished and also the lateral edges are ground up to 3 inchs from the bit. This may have been used as an axe, but my guess would be a spade or hoe blade.

Provenance: Found on private property with permission, Tennessee River, Guntersville Basin, Jackson Co. Alabama.
