Hi everyone, I have not posted in a while due to work. I have been working the past month around Wilson and Karnes Counties near the Floresville, tx area. I posted some of my palm wood finds about a month ago but no points were found then. Came back to work, and on my down time I accumulated some pieces near Cibolo Creek. The only point I found has the characteristics of an Angostura point type, because it is ground some at the base and has flaking similar to that type point it's perfect no breaks. I also found a well made biface scraper that Has some polish on one half of the dulled end that makes me wonder if it has been hafted... The work end has been worked to a pretty sharp edge. Can't see the polish in the pic, sorry, I need to invest in a new camera.. Last either a preform that they gave up on, or a scraper / knife, the edges are worked well made out of petrified wood. It's weird, the Angostura point looks to be made out of Edwards plateau chert which can't be found in the area I was in, and the ovate scraper. These Indians were just passin through I guess. Wish I could have got an insitu of the point, it was laying flat as a pandcake half buried... Oh well, next time im not so buisy I will be more patient and not freak out, hahaha. Happy hunting to all.

If so I am taking the kayak to the river to go exploring... Oldgoat, that did cross my mind about trade amongst the indians, that is a for sure possibility.... Trade blanks must have been dispursed among different bands I am sure. Thanks for the replies... There's a job coming up in Gardendale, TX that i might be going on, if so I have another chance in a prime area to hunt.. Landowners are usually cool about it surprisingly, most do not mind.. I do travel quite a bit thanks to the oil and gas industry..
