Was out metal detecting a dried up PRIVATE lake bed near Fort Worth Texas. A buddy found a nice flint scraper so we started looking around. My wife and I ended up with some good stuff too. Some of them may not have been "keepers" by those who made them but they sure looked worked to us. Not even sure exactly what we have. None of us really know much about Native Indian artifacts so I was hoping someone knew what to look for to help narrow down the tribe. Could be Comanche or possible Ouchita?
Thanks fro help, Ron

Grim Reaper nailed it back in 2011....he's kinda like E.F. Hutton in here. FWIW, 10,000 years ago, they were called Natives...Paleo Natives, Archaic Natives....never cave man.
 
Ha thought so but stumbled across the "preforms" that made me think Native American.
Thanks again, Ron
 
There are examples of preforms from 12,000 to 1,500 years old, they aren't exclusive to any one era. The "shoe spoon" that you found is an extremely fine example of what most consider an archaic uniface scraper.
