Attractive gemstone paintings, which use garnet, turquoise, yellow agate and red jasper, from Agra catch the attention of visitors. |
Hence, when Smoky Hill jasper is present in substantial amounts in a collection, the bifacial knives are made primarily from it. |
The stones used include red jasper, white oriental alabaster, yellow chalcedony, and green gabbro. |
Our data indicate that much of the jasper was carried away from the quarry as potential flake tools, flake blanks, and bifaces. |
In fact, seventeen of the fifty-seven sites are specifically listed for agate, chalcedony, chert, jasper, or petrified wood. |
There are three chipped stone celts of Smoky Hill jasper in the collection and one of a very well cemented, fine-grained quartzite. |
