We moved into our property in 2020. It's a new development between two converging creeks and very close to where a large 3 chief village was located from the 1720s to 1835. It is known that a hunting trail came through here long before that. I have found a few things in the past, but this year has been a whirlwind of finds from archaic to KC Hopewell to a Wichita triangle and two other arrowheads. Nothing grade A but still artifacts. Looking over old maps and satellite images I have located multiple campsites, and the heat-treated flakes, test rocks, blades and points have been proof of much activity and tool construction. Sadly, the hunting is coming to a close as the last of the construction is wrapping up but I'm glad to have saved what I could find. This one I found last night has me puzzled though. I take it as just an odd piece of reduction flake that was tested or practiced on or something like that? It is not heat treated. It appears to be broken opposite the point. But I wonder if it could have been a one-use knife by the way it's shaped? I'd love to hear what you experts have to say.
