Occasionally, I'll have a day in the field during which time it seems that I'm finding intact points, a variety of other artifacts, and all in close proximity to each other. Then, I wake up. This past Tuesday, however, I experienced something close to that kind of a day. While the rest of Oklahoma was dodging cyclones, I took to the field with my younger kids and my hunting partner after gale-force winds blew through Wash*ita county in Western Oklahoma. It seems that the gods indeed smiled upon us and we had quite an afternoon. Five intact points, multiple broken points, scrapers, large pottery pieces, even an older point or two. Notice the ears or ridges constructed into the exterior of the pottery. Functional or ornamental?
Hope to be able to demonstrate more of the same in the near future!
