~ Archaic Indian Stone Axe/Hammer ~ |
Item #: AH12
3/4 Groove Axe (Hammer) Head
New Item
Size: ~ 7" long by 3 1/4" wide by 2 1/4" thick
Material: Olivine tinted Granite
Age: Probably Late Archaic (5,500 to 2,500 BP)
This axe is
believed to have been found in Mercer County, Pa. I purchased it
from a country antique shop in Mercer County where it was on
consignment. Gary Fogelman, author of many artifact books and editor
of Indian Artifacts Magazine examined it in July 2011 and stated it
was authentic. In the sun the axe has a slight greenish cast which
does not show in the photos. Herb H.
Provenance: Mercer County, Pa - H.H. consignment - A Good Price!

RARE
~ Archaic Indian Stone Axe/Hammer ~
RARE |
Item #: DGAH1
Double-Groove Axe (Hammer) Head
Size: ~ 6 1/8" long
Material: Gray Granite
Age: Probably Late Archaic (5,500 to 2,500 BP)
American Indian Tools:
A very rare
find. Double- grooved axe head! It was extremely
difficult to grind a groove around hard stone - even today with
modern hand tools. Now imagine grinding TWO grooves around the one
stone - for whatever purpose - in good symmetry! This is museum grade.
Nowhere in Hothem's reference books could we find a double-grooved
axe, celt or adze head - and this is a nice big one.
Provenance: Belgrade, Montana - K.H. consignment
Date found: 1960s
Price: $2250

sawing near the upper end. The other side of the tool has 2
different size spoke shavers for arrow shafts and is also quite
sharp. On top of that, this tool could also be used as a spear

Indian Tools:
Extremely rare! This is an amazing feat of Stone Age engineering:
Fits in the left hand as if it were molded by squeezing clay - but
this is hard iron-based hornblende stone! Both ends are flat for pounding. Note
ancient impact chips on the ends. The original "brass knuckles".
Will not stand up on either end without leaning it on a vertical
surface. Great price too!

Material: Sandstone conglomerated to Slate
Age: Probably
Middle Archaic (8,000 to
5,500 BP)
American
Indian Tools:
Extremely rare! Because of the fine grain of the sandstone (the
"snails' shell") this artifact may have been an Indian maiden's
personal fingernail file. Most of us modern humans take it for
granted that we have fingernail files - 11,000 years ago this item
would have been a luxury. We have not tried it out for fear of
devaluating its original patina.
