“Local mom reveals one weird trick that archeologists hate!”
I’m not saying something like this has never happened but I expect that such claims are simply anti-intellectual urban legends more often than not.
(How would we even know where pre-Columbian people stored knives? The sort of structure that would survive for centuries seems like it would be a palace or a temple made of stone, rather than a common kitchen. There the blades presumably would serve a ritual purpose.)
