Organizing some paleo

[joshuaream]

Unpacking and organizing some miscellaneous paleo. All broken or damaged except for a few. The vast majority were purchases, but have solid history on most. I just enjoy looking at old paleo and all of these probably cost less combined than any of them would cost individually if whole in G-10 condition.

Midwestern fluted stuff- Clovis/Gainey lower left.
Unfluted non-Dalton lower Center.
Beaver lake/Quad/Cumberland Lower Right.
Plains paleo stuff upper right (Cody, Eden, Scotty, Allen, etc.)
Great Basin stuff upper center (Hasket, crescents, Windust.)

Hollands from Iowa & Illinois (I have more in a box somewhere.)

Wilson County Sandpit Texas (Golondrinas and maybe a Plainview.)

...that is nice assemblage of points. Any personal finds? Favorite piece? I like to see flattop in other peoples frames, It's my favorite lithic..

Aside from a couple in the Great Basin cluster, these are just buys from local collections or from other collectors at auctions because I like studying paleo and I don't have enough time travel around the lower 48 finding my own paleo points. For studying flaking, materials, etc. a broken piece is better than a thousand pictures of a single point laying flat in a book or on the internet.

That’s an impressive tray of paleo! Thanks for sharing Joshua

I wish I had the problem of organizing an assemblage of pieces like that. I can organize the one I have in nanoseconds!

Very impressive Joshua. Thanks for putting it out here for all to see.

Beautiful collection.

Very Nice! Is that a Lovell constricted on the left side (up from the Bottom with the concave base) of the ''Plains Paleo'' section?

 

[uniface]

Endless hours of absorbing inerest in those !

Very nice collection. Gary

There are a bunch of fine artifacts there. Of course I love big perfect items but well used paleo speak to my soul.

Not really sure, I have heard of Lovell points but it's not a type I really know much about. Here is a better picture of that section.

Some once monster Scotties in there.

Wish I could use "organize some paleo" in a sentence and actually mean it, nice examples

Neat image of the Plains pieces Joshua.
Many of those would look right at home in my collection.

Very nice saves

Very cool to look at. I organized my paleo collection last week. It took 0.5 seconds.

If I am correct the Lovell Constricted points have colateral flaking, and the right, or left side from the tip to half way down there are extra sharpened flaking. Wish had a way of showing this. The one that I have was found just north of the Big Horn Basin, from which they were named from, (Lovell, Wyoming). Thanks again for sharing those HeartBreakers!
