~ Colorful Yellow & Cream ~ 'Hawk Bill' Coral Knife ~
Length: 4 1/2"
Grade: 8
Description: Middle Archaic Knife made from yellow and cream agatized Coral. The maker appears to have worked around a natural inclusion, shaping it to incorperate the flaw to create what modern knife collectors call a Hawk Bill Knife. My guess is that this was the Newnan man's kife because of the context of where it was found.
Provenance: Found on private property with permission from Pasco Co. Florida.
