A walk in the rain -picked up a couple cuties.

[MAMucker]

2/ small White Crystal Quartz Squibnocket Triangles (Late Transitional Archaic through Middle Woodland)
1/ Grainy Rhyolite Rossville (Middle to late Woodland)
A variety of lithic flakes. (I don't usually post flakes, but I thought these were very cool. Especially the green one)

Now that’s a good hunt. On the black one what is the name of it and it’s purpose? The triangles are really nice

Some beauties there Mucker! Rhyolite points look great when wet.

Nice finds 👌

 

[dognose]

very nice.
better than working for sure.
congratulations

Good finds. Some of that material looks like it would be difficult to knap.

Those indians in the flint poor NE had it rough. A guy from NH sent me a box of rhyolite from Mt Jasper in Berlin, NH and wanted me to make some points. I struggled with that stuff and it’s considered high quality material for the NE. The Indians from the NE would have been in flintknapping heaven in the Midwest.

Roseville’s are rarely symmetrical or well made. The presumption is that they were a hafted multi-purpose tool. This one has a stack on it and seems to be made from a local material we call Braintree Felsite.

You ain’t kidding. Most surface finds are generally in bad shape or just not made well. When I do find a high quality artifact made from local lithics, I know that the maker (and I) got a little lucky.

Great day.

Lots of the Copenas I find in my area have stacks on them. I think and of course it isn’t in stone but it could of been a useful hand tool plus possibly seeing we have so many inclusions in the chert maybe they were afraid they might break. That was a good rain day for you

The flake far right in the flake photo, with a black band across it, looks like hornfels…

 

[Older The Better]

That longer flake looks a lot like some I have, I think there is a specific technique to get them, something like the hopewell blades. Seeing that repeating pattern sometimes with an edge retouch pushes them into a different category than an quick flake tool to me.

those quartz ones are usually pretty ugly and poorly formed, but this one is a real gem!

 

[scruggs]

Beautiful artifacts you found! They will look nice in a case!

Most of mine are ugly lol
