Description :

1. The Large Upright Blade / Axe Head

This is a ground stone tool, likely an axe head, celt, or ceremonial blade.

How to recognize it

  • Smoothly ground surfaces

  • Symmetrical shape

  • Thick, durable stone

  • Mounted upright in your display

What it was used for Chopping, woodworking, or sometimes ritual display depending on the culture and context.


2. The Arrowheads and Projectile Points

These are the small, triangular or leaf‑shaped pieces.

How to recognize them

  • Flaked edges

  • Sharp points

  • Symmetrical forms

What they were used for Hunting tools — attached to arrows, darts, or spears. Different shapes often indicate different time periods or hunting styles.


3. The Green Polished Stones

These are ground and polished tools or pendants, often made from jadeite, nephrite, serpentine, or other tough green stones.

Possible uses

  • Celts (small axes)

  • Adzes

  • Pendants or amulets

  • Ceremonial objects

The polish suggests they were valued items, not just utilitarian tools.


4. The Smaller Flaked Tools

These could be:

  • Scrapers

  • Knives

  • Cutting flakes

  • Drills

They were used for hide processing, carving, and everyday tasks.


5. The Leather Pouch

This is likely a modern addition to the lot — a storage pouch included with the tools. It’s not an artifact itself but part of the auction grouping.


What Makes This Set Interesting

  • It shows multiple toolmaking techniques: flaking, grinding, polishing.

  • It includes both functional tools and possibly symbolic pieces.

  • It reflects the resourcefulness and craftsmanship of Indigenous cultures across North America.

  • The mix suggests it was assembled as a collector’s group rather than found together archaeologically.
