The fabled SlothSlayer. I dug these out of the clay. Many were 12 to 15ft deep. Enjoy

Yes. Every piece of that material was imported. From 200 to 400 miles minimum. None of it is local.

Wow. Pic 13 shows some amazing looking work, of course, all of them are incredible !! Man, love that I’ve been able to look at these. Thank you Steve

Beautiful relics.

.... They are awesome... Where they found in context with bone?
All the lithics will be fun to figure out a little more, as more and more see I guess?
Is there South American stuff that have that form?
All the digging where found is all done?
The white center piece is the most perfect looking thing.

No bone. Way to acidic on that site for bone to survive. GAULT lab scanned the lithic of every one as part of a lithic sourcing study. Crazy variety of chert materials that came from south west. West, north west, and then novaculite from 350 miles east north east. Cool study.

The workmanship on those is incredible.

Sounds fascinating. Any way I could read it ?

Great looking pieces Garscale. 2 questions for you what age are you thinking on those and what do you type the 2nd to last one as. I have a similar one and have never really gotten a good I.D on it. Here it is and what is your opinion.
Thanks

Man that point is made a lot like the sloth slayers minus parallel flaking and the serrations. Yours may be a Alberta.

Now for the age.... they are unquestionably the oldest culture in my site. They were literally in the hard pan clay. The full spectrum of paleo and transitional was above them. Ollllllddd.

I bet there is. Surely the study was eventually published. They were looking to match actual lithic mineral signatures to sources in order to track travel or trade. They brought the laser all the way out to my house and scanned hundreds of artifacts.

Did it come from Tennessee? Man it sure looks as Alberta but you should be out of range for them.

what does the bottom part of the base look like? is it squared off from ancient or more recent breakage? could be an Adena or variants ( wells, waubsea) with the blade side well used.

there are some gary subtypes that could fall in maybe as well.
