    LLano, tx biface scraper

    Haven't posted in a while, but I have been working alot. Here is a pic of a biface scraper with a thumb groove, that i found in LLano, TX along an ancient dried up stream 5 days ago.... I found a couple of pieces of flint and then I noticed this piece half buried in the dust. I was taking my time, and good thing b/c I would have surely missed it. Central Texas Needs rain bad right now. I was hunting on my girlfriends dads hunting lease, and all the small ponds are dried up... It is a really thin little scraper... Happy huntin..

    Wow Abarnard you have been keeping your eyes open in your travels. How many acres is his lease? I am getting ready for hunting season here. Nice finds good looking pieces.

    Looks like it might have originally been a crescent. (?)

    Crescent, meaning?? I am not sure if you are reffering to a type of tool or point, etc.. Can you explain Uniface

    I think uni was talking about a type of tool that was crecent shaped. Its most times associated with clovis time frames. But has been duplicated by others in archiac and woodland.Its a nice find for sure. Here is a good picture of what they call a crecent.

    thanks for the info TN. Yep, it does have a little bit of a crescent shape to it. I have another that is larger than that one, but I found it along the colorado.

    Yep !

    TnMountains hooked you up.

    Sometimes one edge is straight, or nearly so.

    They're not real uncommon in Texas from what I'm told, but most of them are thicker than the paleos are, and date from throughout the Archaic era.
