My buddy and I spent the day today point hunting up here in Central Alberta, Buffalo Lake Area. We found lots of petrified buffalo bones, teeth and partial points/blades. We found an old hunt/cleaning site as the hill was just covered in buffalo bones, every inch you kicked, more bones would uncover. Even the dirt mounds that the gophers and moles dug out consisted of teeth and bones, but no fully complete tools/points/blades found. The awesome part was finding the remnants of the fire pits, they were about 50 yards downhill ( red, blackened and all the same shape/size more or less) . This partial thumb scraper was the most photogenic to be posted here today lol.....The part that made me cry today was when my buddy took me to his family farm near this lake and showed me the family collection from over the years...100's of arrowheads and points, lots of scrapers/blades and at least 60 pounds of axe/hammer heads.
p.s. I have a question for my American Friends. (off topic) But, am I naïve to think that the Cree used or invented pottery for themselves up here to use for themselves? Or did they just stick to the pemmican bags/sacks? Am I too far north to hope to find pottery fragments?
