Went out on Tuesday found a couple bases, another pottery sherd, part of a drill and a buffalo rib section

The bases, first one I missed at first trying not have a million pics but it is worked both sides

The pottery plain but maybe someday Iā€™ll have enough pieces to make a pot

Next at first I thought it was some weird blob of worked stone but looking closer thereā€™s a break where there was probably a projection like a drill or punch

Last Iā€™m going with buffalo rib, it was maybe a foot down on an very productive site, size would make it a cow or buffalo but the thing that I think puts it over the top are the cut marks

Iā€™ll throw one more in, another section of bone that is quite thick probably buffalo again but if Iā€™m not mistaken shows a spiral break and a divotā€¦. My interpretation is the divot is where they struck the bone to crack it open for the marrow

Buffalo rib bone is a pretty cool find. Saw one found in Oklahoma that had been engraved with a guy on horseback on it. Unusual, and no idea why they did that, but it was a legitimate find.
 

Thanks I know I probably do more pictures than I need for brokes and such. I take atleast 12 pictures of each artifact I find to record it. My hope is someday Iā€™ll leave as much information as possible about what I have where it came from and what I think it is, so the next person can enjoy it or at the least understand what they are working with and hopefully make a better decision than tossing it in the trash like the other thread.
