found: 4 inch knife
tommyTo any forebears of the Tocobaga,
Please check to make sure you have all your belongings. It looks like you may have dropped a knife some 6,000 years ago:
A city work crew installing a new shelter at a park unearthed an Indian knife blade estimated to be more than 6,000 years old.
The workers found the knife on Monday at Marshall Street Park, said city spokesman Brad Purdy. A curator of archaeology from the Safety Harbor Museum of Regional History is on the site continuing an examination of the artifact.
The blade is made of stone and is about 4 inches long.
You have 60 days to claim the lost knife, at which time it will likely end up in someone’s junk drawer.
Marshall Street Park is in Safety Harbor, less than a mile west of Phillipe Park, home to the Tampa Bay area’s largest Indian Mound.

Here’s your knife and sorry about the smallpox, man. We were all preoccupied with the scurvy and whatnot.
