Prehistoric Butcher Knife (2013.01.13) 08

John's uncle got it when he went to Arizona years and years ago. It is rather large: 4" x 2.75" x 1/2" (or 10.16cm x 7cm x 12.7cm). According to Gailen Mapes, this is "the equivalent of a butcher knife. There was a recent "Nova" on educational TV called "Decoding Neanderthals." They had some modern flintknappers making and using tools like this." plus.google.com/u/0/photos/101192315121866349980/albums/5...
