Pieces were carried from state to state and Native Americans traveled all over...there is no set rule on an artifact.

That's what I was thinking they have found Dover flint in Canada so it was moved around lol

Hey, Painterx7......

I'm extremely Interested in the Second Picture With the Orange Background, Is That A Metal Piece?? And Could You Please Tell Me What You Know About That Piece . Thank You So Much For Sharing !!

 

[painterx7]

Thank you and that is a stone . It would be a fossil from what I have learned say a root grown into the mud millions of years ago then it became fossilized . As I find these a lot this one has some man made trimming marks on it and is very polished in the groove . Given that and that it was found in context with a lot of other NA artifacts I believe it was used for smoothing wooden shafts by the Native Americans . I hope this helps and again I am no expert but I am learning how to put 2 and 2 together

Last two pix, is that Dover chert? I find alot of that material here.

Yes it sure is .... Dover chert was prized for making long blades it actually breaks apart in sheets most sheets were around 1/2 inch when broke off ill get pics when I get home
