Description:  Large Tennessee Benton - Here is a Large Tennessee Benton of un-identified, river stained chert.  I believe it is possibly Horse Creek Chert due to the banding and colors on one side.  It has great symmetry and nice flaking.  A Very nice LARGE example of a colorful Benton.  I have checked this closely and found it to be a good authentic piece.  Ex - Larry Lantz, Ex- Phil Mize

Item: FA178
Description: Beautiful Serrated Archaic Stemmed - Here is a beautiful piece with fine serrations and a needle tip that is a bit problematic as far as typology.  It is beveled on all 4 sides and serrated along both edges.  The sides of the stem (or notches) are ground and the base has been lightly ground.  It has a short stem that expands right at the base.  I am not sure whether to call it a Benton, some odd Harpeth River, or short stemmed Little Bear Creek?  I lean more towards a Benton, but I will let you decide or suggest to me.  The piece was found in Russell County, Kentucky.  From our personal collection.
