Some recent rock shelter (private property) finds. So many types of flint in this one and a wide variety of tools...scrapers, spokeshaves, knives. Gonna be a fun winter!
sweet stuff! can you describe the rock shelter? (depth, height, width; near bottom land, on hillside, etc...) i've been wanting to start searching for a shelter but don't really know where to begin.

100 feet wide, 6 feet tall and 30 feet deep. It's located at an elevation of 1,400 feet on a sandstone cliff line. It's a pretty steep climb to reach it. Those closest major water supply at this time is nearly a mile away however, things have changed over the last 9 thousand years, very well could have been water closer back in the day. I'll take a picture next time I'm there and post it for you if that helps.
Way Cool! Nice points and scrapers, and really interesting material you are finding. It looks like you are going to have a real fun time in that shelter. I would love to see what else you find as you progress with it.
