VERY NICE OLD CALIFORNIA BONE NEEDLE WITH DOCS--NR!

Description

Here's a very nice old bone needle found in 1935 at Thistle on Woodward ranch near Sheldon. It measures approx. 2-7/8"x 3/8".
All these beads and/or artifacts are from the same collection and I do have docs on them all. S.A. Martine is the gentleman that did the collecting with permission from the land owners back in the 1930's-40's. The collection has been in storage since the 1950's and all the items have been tagged and all of them are from within a 45 mile radius of Sacramento, California with the exception of a site at Point Conception in Santa Barbara County and several sites in the state of Nevada, again with permission on private property.
Mr. Martine was well known at the time and was recognized as having the most comprehensive collection of Sacramento Valley artifacts ever amassed and worked closely with Sacramento City College and the University of California. He kept a comprehensive dig log and tagged his finds with site location and date recovered.
The collection was put into storage in the 1950's  and has recently been released for sale by the family and we are fortunate enough to be able to offer this wonderful collection of beads, stone and bone tools and some of the nicest Stockton type points and blades we have ever seen.
