Vibrant Red Gary Point – Heat-Treated Lithic – Phillips Co., AR

Description

Description: A visually stunning example of a Gary projectile point, recovered from private farmland in Phillips County, Arkansas. This piece is defined by its remarkable deep red color, a result of prehistoric heat-treating of the stone—a process used by ancient craftsmen to improve the flaking quality of the material.The point features a sharp, well-preserved tip and the characteristic contracting stem of the Woodland period. The surface shows bold, wide flake scars and a rugged, earthy texture. This is a “high-eye-appeal” piece that stands out in any display frame. Type: Gary Material: Heat-Treated Red Chert/Novaculite Age: Woodland Period Condition: Whole; excellent tip and stem preservation.
