[Figure 277] shows an implement from Licking county, Ohio, somewhat of the form of [figure 205], except that it is wider and much thinner. It is worn smooth on each edge for ¾ inch from the point, the point itself being quite blunt. This probably results from use as a knife or drill; though, if due to the latter cause, the material on which it was used must have been quite soft or thin. Similar wear is seen on implements from the same locality of the form of figures 176 and 223, but this article is smaller than those represented by the figures.
