Extract

In 1936 a monograph appeared dealing with corner-tang artifacts (Bibliography, 1). Although nothing definite is known as yet about the age and associations of these peculiar artifacts, the author believed them to have developed from spear-points and to have been associated with the chase (skinning knives ?). He furthermore concluded from certain indications that these artifacts belonged to an early horizon. Typologically he distinguished six sub-types (Figure 18).
