- Description:
- Handwritten letter wherein Akerman wrote to Crabtree to wish him well on his recovery and shared that the use of stone knives in surgery was occuring with a small population for subincision and circumcision procedures in Australia. He then goes on to discuss his draft on reduction sequences and production of Kimberley points. He’s about ready to write up the heat treatment on stone in the area, and he believes it originated in the south east Kimberleys. He is confused how Native Americans had the practice hundreds of years before it had been recorded in Australia. He also attached a photocopy of a paper he wrote on flaking with wooden tools hoping for input from Crabtree.
