    my humble attempt to ID my "farm finds" any help encouraged...

    I'm not too good at this, but a guy has to start somewhere, eh?. All found on most recent trip.
    Thinking this may be a Lange. Location is right, central Texas.



    Only have the Distal end of this one, but may be enough to say a Scottsbluff or maybe Angostura. (top one)
    The one at the bottom is different than any found here previously. I'll offer Elam, possibly.





    A chip off the old block, or core, as the case may be, may have started to work this, but mainly looks like just a biface thinning flake?.



    This is a Crinoid Stem with pieces of a different stem, used as necklace decor. I can see how these would be easy to separate and incorporate into a necklace.



    The piece at right, thought was a part of a head, and may be, but now I can see it may be a broken alternate preform. I did not know of these until I checked some Texas Arrowhead reference material. (cut me some slack, I'm admittedly a pure rookie)



    I didn't forget about you uniface...here are a couple for ya.



    Well, what do you think? Did I get any right? I will take no offense to any critique, bring 'em on.

    Caution...student driver,

    Not a biface thinning flake, BW. Cortex on one end. Three previous removals on top, attempted removal from bottom, then the whole thing taken off for a fresh start. VERY nice item. My guess would be pretty early, but Neanderthal's your go-to guy for your part of the country.

    Hmmm Well, I'm not from Central Texas, but it could be a Lange or shall I submit "Darl"? The broken one (Distal end) is hard to tell The other is also hard to put a type on for me. Looks like it was a well used knife thats had a hard life.
    The other that you call Elam looks to be one that was worn down to a nub. (?)
    Of course the other stuff does look like tools to me.
    I'd say you had a good trip. Those are some nice peices either way or whatever the types may be.

    Can I offer up godley on that first one? Maybe not small enough, but I'm looking at the concave edges right above the shoulders. Just having fun here, and I only have few references. Is the flaking fine? Is there a lot of grinding on the stem? This book says godleys are a north central texas point. Brazos river area

    I'ld like to thank all you fine folks for your input.
    After some research I was doing on a totally non-related subject I ran across info regarding middens dug at Camp Bowie in Brown County, Tx. (this was a sanctioned dig by official archaeologists)
    The first point of those pictured now seems to most closely resemble an Ensor-style dart point. This based on a very similar one found and pictured from the Camp Bowie site, which is close to where this one was found. (see "what middens tell us")

    Still waiting for Neanderthal to weigh in on this post.
