12/23/19 A few good finds

[MAMucker]

Here a nice quality Quartz Stemmed Point, likely a Squibnocket Stemmed Projectile Lanceolate Point

Or Small Stemmed Type





And a Stunning Small Quartz Hafted (Stemmed) Scraper. I really like this well shaped tool and the fine quality of the lithic.











The last one, another Hafted Quartz (more of a Sugar-Quartz) Scraper.

Good finds. Be careful with the first hafted scraper. It looks like it could easily shear off along the fracture.

Nice point. The small scraper is a beauty. I am always amazed at what they could do with quartz.

And that’s the nature of quartz. It appears to be a layer that was formed in the original crystallized sediment.

Every chance I get to go out for an hour or two keeps me happy. Old man winter be dammed!

I hear you.
Some of the quartz artifacts in my possession, I refer to as jewelry grade. Believe me, I handle them like they’re delicate cut gemstones.

Great looking finds. That Hafted Scraper is a dandy.

I find Milky quartz frequently in certain parts of our place. They seem to be less attractive, less skillfully made. Maybe they are older than Thought to be.
