I like big ones, nice to feel a big one in your hand, rather than keep finding little birdies ::)

Nice to see some larger tools.

Thanks for sharin' with us Axeman.

Great finds Axeman ! Were any of those big stones halved ? Nice Haul :icon_thumright:

ohioaxeman · Feb 27, 2011

Krisrock... No indication of halving on them. i think most of the big blades were handheld anyways.

i think lar hothem had a book about identifying flint and chert types ill look in my books when i get off work and ill let you know. i know i have a book on them.

Hey Axeman, no sign of halfting but there looks to be both hand held and inserted blades in the three. The one on the right looks like the base was probably inserted into an antler or branch. I found two whole knifes today about two hours ago and I'll post em this afternoon if I can find some batteries for my camera. :help:
