Some paleo tools for Uniface

[joshuaream]

Here are a couple of my paleo tools, most are personal finds but some were eBay and junk box finds that went too cheap.


This is a large broken Kentucky Clovis biface that went for under $10 on eBay. The outre passe flaking is very cool, it also has a platform for fluting set up.



The other side of the same biface with some personal find clovis bases with nipples for fluting.



Another clovis base that was used as a graver or tool after breakage.


A view of the flute and platform for fluting the otherside.


A large broken biface from Indiana. It has a couple of outre passe flakes on one side, and has a width/thickness ratio similar to a folsom ultra-thin.



These are outrepasse flakes that were used as tools.






A broken base and small biface from my clovis site. The sides were extensively reworked.


A monster uniface knife from a paleo site. (I'll post some more about this group later.)


This is a neat type of uniface knife that is found in Florida, Texas, and in South America.







A little Ohio square knife with a platform for fluting (I think it was a broken clovis base that was reworked into a square.)


My best square knife.




I've got more, but this is what I had loaded in my photobucket account.

Where is it you're finding these, Joshua ?

Not detailed location info, but general. I'm trying to guess from the material, but can't.

Hey, Very nice pieces. The square knife is cool. What's the material? Thanks...

[joshuaream]

The square knife is florida/georgia. It was almost black with river stain but a soak in lime juice cleaned it right up.

The paleo bases are from two sites in South America. The other pieces are Ky and Oh.
