April 2008 Tippecanoe River flooded field (new finds 2-15-09)

[WhiteCountyPaleo]

These in-situ photos were taken from the second trip to this flood washout. The river came through and washed rocks into piles which produced many thebes, kirks, a broken dovetail, large preforms/blades, 3in adena, bird points,and others. One thebes has been pieced together and is 3x1.25 long and another 3x1 11/16. The second photo has a 2.25x1.25in kirk I found in-situ.

Re: Tippecanoe River field flood finds

Nice finds dollarzero and great in situ pictures.

My brother got into a field a few years back that was similar to yours. A creek had come up out of it's banks and washed right through this field and taken off all of the topsoil right down to the hardpan. My brother and a buddy of his were the first ones right after this happened and they found points piled up together in the rocks, sometimes as many as 8 or 9 in one spot. If I remember correctly I think they both came out of the field with around 40 good whole points each and just as many of not more broken ones. I got into the field a few days later and found 7 really nice points myself. The farmer then decided he didn't want anybody in his fields and we haven't been back since.

Man this field produced a lot of Archaic material! The majority of these are highly stained Attica chert/Indiana green.

Went back and the washout was plowed
pretty good. The first pic is one that my
friend and I walked past then he spotted
this no brainer on our second pass when
we left! One of my favorites to find too.
It's made of Indiana Green/Attica Chert
and is stained. The group photo shows
his on the top and mine on the bottom.
Pretty good day!

Very nice show, I hate it when the river gets up like that. If I could give some advice to folks, its to pound those areas that get flooded, and wash out places that don't get flooded usually. good finds. John
