Obsidian hinge blade removals, PALM 1 survey

Creator(s): Barbara Stark

Year: 2012

Summary

Lynette Heller recorded instances in survey collections of hinge removals for PALM 1, mainly for prismatic obsidian blades. A separate file has information on excavation obsidian hinges. Although hinges may reflect raw material irregularities, in most cases they reflect insufficient or misdirected force in blade or flake detachment, which for blades, produced a rounded or blunt distal termination. In Palm 2, hinge information was recorded under "comments."
