This biface was collected from the surface of a multicomponent workshop site in Chase County by Kansas Historical Society archeologists. The biface, made of Permian chert, may have been stored for future use (what archeologists call a cache), been meant for trade, or had some other significance we today do not know. The site was occupied periodically through the Archaic and Early Ceramic periods.
