California Obsidian

[Out Of Time]

I found a couple of interesting pieces lately.

Surface finds (mostly creek) from Napa CA.



Biface




Bi-point




Contracting stem point




Big broken lanceolate






That's all, folks.

That biface is very nice.

I was thinking that perhaps it features 'Outre passe' flaking but am not experienced enough to tell.

Anyhow I think it's pretty old.

But maybe not as old as the contracting stem point (my favorite) which might be Early Archaic / Berkeley pattern?

Nice finds. That’s a terrific day out! Love that leaf blade (Ovoid).

Also found this awl.

It's not pretty but still worth loving.
