I wouldn't be able to stay away from that spot! Those are awesome!
Thanks Viking, I am thinking it is a knife/blade as well, probably intact but kinda crude.. It looks to me to be the veined and mottled jasper that occurs in outcrops in northern Delaware and southeast PA, whereas I think the other jasper scrapers shown are sourced from the small cobbles or pebbles found locally.Very nice. Your new site looks very promising. Love that big jasper knife/scraper preform thing, I think its jasper. Nice handful of artifacts, thanks for the view.
That's a killer duckbill boss !!!!
Prob so I love finding those heck I like finding flakes then I know I'm in the right spot . I think we would all b surprised at pieces we've tossed back because the dirt is stuck on like mud and we couldn't see fine work .Thanks Painterx7, those little duckbill or thumbnail scrapers are probably one of the most common artifacts we find here locally, and seem to show up mostly around our mid archaic sites, although it is hard to tell because most of our sites are multi component. I don't know if they are common because it was a common tool type, or if it is a result of them just being small, and possibly overlooked by the arrowhead hunters back in the day when nice points were plentiful?
Hey Red-- you got a 'red'!- you devil you!!! You had a GREAT freaking day my man! Man-o-man I miss those pretty colors...sigh. But how COOL that you now have a new site to walk. Keep your eyes peeled-you got an awesome new spot! Congrats buddy- and Happy Thanksgiving Yakker
