i would have to say no

Ok! Thanks! It is better to have no for an answer , than no answer at all. It looks Like no other I have found of any period. Kind of like a flake on one side, worked a tad on the other, and ground some at the base. It doesn't have the pretty Clovis flaked back, just smooth. Perhaps this is proof of a novice working toward perfection ?

This was only feet from the piece above.

Nice one

Nice one

Can you ID it? It is a strange point. Thanks for viewing Bro!

Im still in the process of familiarizing myself with North Carolina points I will wait to see if somone knows it right away... im going to look it up anyhow.

 

[old digger]

It is stemmed. Could have been a hasty manufacture, or as you suggested a novice in practice. Nice Find!

 

[NC field hunter]

I think it could be a guilford made from a flake. Stayed up to late looking for answers. This was the best I could come up with.

This artifact looks interesting. Is there and indentation on the top? If; It could be have been a used tool of some kind.

Yes, I also found a piece that fits the rounded out center pretty well. I'm going to post it this evening to get some opinions. May as well get my fair share of abuse!Lol!

 

[GatorBoy]

Does the piece that fits have wear on the end that fits?

Possibly a nutting stone...

Then again it could be a paleo-wannabe, a thro-rok or even a sexrok or simply a geological phenomanem...

I'm betting on nutting stone...

No, not the nutting stone, the point above it. Thanks any way.

I'll have to post it, because I can't verbally give the visual image. It is like a crappy roller pestle, with a flat side . Probably a leaverright

I think the round concave one is a fire starter. Old school bic! The point, really still not sure.

I'm kinda stumped on the point too. It could easily be unfinished. If it has a ground base I would say early triangle for lack of a diffinitive answer. I'm not seeing a stem in the photos. Possibly weak notches and shoulders. Pretty sure the other is a nutting stone but whatever. Nice finds either way.

Thanks gator! If the point is unfinished , why would they have started with such a thin piece of lithic? Look up Clovis points made on a flake. I know this isn't a Clovis, but if you have never read about it , I know it will intrigue you!

 

[GatorBoy]

Of course its just speculation but if I only had a little left of some stone I liked I might make them thin to get more out of it.





I'm thinking about getting some pink Lee press on nails for the close ups..LOL.

That would be a crowd pleaser! That theory is what the Clovis flake is about.
