It’s amazing what some fire and a bit of rain can unearth! Obsidian tool kit found near a house I used to live in that burned down last fall! It’s an obsidian hammerstone and 2 obsidian cores...I think they were used to smack blades off of!

A found within a close proximity of each other...everything is obsidian. One type is banded...possibly traded in.

We had all moved out of the area and frankly that place needed burning down...still a wicked fire. Thanks for the thoughts!

That is a super find, you don't find that many cores that nice and they were knocking off some fine blades.:notworthy:

They are nice I agree. I have never found a blade core but many blades.
