**100% Genuine Onondaga Chert – Discovered in Western New York (WNY)**
Up for sale is an exceptional, extensive single-site field collection of authentic ancient lithic artifacts. This complete field lot provides an incredible snapshot of a prehistoric encampment, stone-working station, and tool workshop spanning thousands of years of Native American technology in the Western New York region.
### Material & Provenance:
Every item in this collection is expertly knapped from highly prized, native **Onondaga Chert**. This distinctive glossy, dark gray-to-mottled blue material outcrops across New York and was heavily traded for its superb predictability and sharp conchoidal fracturing.
### What is Included in this Lot:
This collection beautifully preserves the full technical lifecycle of ancient flintknapping, including:
* **Finished Projectile Points:** Includes highly distinct Late Woodland period **Levanna Triangular Arrowheads** (dating from roughly 700 AD to 1600 AD). These thin, unnotched triangular forms represent true bow-and-arrow technology used by ancestral Iroquois cultures.
* **Hafted Knives & Scrapers:** Heavily worked, specialized camp tools featuring steep, razor-sharp worked margins designed for hide scraping, game butchering, and woodworking.
* **Bifacial Blanks & Preforms:** Large, rough-shaped teardrop and ovate cores carried from local chert outcroppings to camp, waiting to be finalized into specialized points.
* **Workshop Debitage Flakes:** An expansive assortment of primary percussion and secondary pressure-flaking chips. These represent the immediate sharp debris struck off by prehistoric artisans using antler billets and hammerstones to shape and field-sharpen their toolkits.
### Condition & Visual Presentation:
All pieces are uncleaned and sold exactly as they were surface-found in their authentic field condition. They are beautifully organized and display magnificent flake scarring, distinct patinas, and textbook conchoidal fractures. Perfect for serious artifact collectors, local history enthusiasts, academic teaching aids, or educational museum displays.
Please review the high-resolution photographs carefully to assess the specific counts, sizes, geometries, and edge-work of individual artifacts.
**Shipping & Handling:**
Ships securely packed in heavy-duty padding to prevent any edge damage during transport. Tracking and insurance included. Sold as-is.
