"Looks like debitage & rocks. Post the points!"
Lol, are not the artifacts you find not rocks? I can assure you that everything brought home was uniquely made for a specific purpose having intricate chipping ,flaking and smoothing to ensure the user could accomplish his task and be comfortable doing it. I do not bring home chunk rock or river cobbles that have not been fashioned in some manner for a purpose, all however ARE rocks and NONE are debitage left over flake/chip pieces meant for the garbage pile. If all you look for are points sir, you're missing the story of the people and culture that had to survive by making stone tools, maybe you just don't know what to look for. I does take a trained eye to know the difference between between a plain rock and a fashioned/napped rock, don't worry, keep at this and with time, you to can identify "rocks" that have been worked by man for survival purposes. I have a large collection of points but personally find the tools, hammerstones etc, more exciting to find as you don't have a point without them. I also will occasionally bring home preforms to help show others the various stages of the napping process that are clearly on their way to be becoming an arrowhead, blade etc. I'm also part Osage and I guess just appreciate every napped item I come across as it tells a story of a person and time we know so little about... I'll post the points if I feel like it. Thanks for the reply
