First Picture

[uniface]

Here goes nothing . . .

Got one picture made & into the computer before I either broke something from not knowing how to use it or the battery ran out.

Anyway, this is my favorite Clovis tool. 1 11/16" long, made on a lamellar blade of Kentucky Hornstone. Found by Bill Tatu in Humprhries Co., Tennessee around 1990 or before, via Dick Savage.

Both straight edges (90 degree angle) are burin removals forming a true burin at the corner. At the tip is a coronet graver which rolls into knife-edge retouching until the last 3/8" where it's steep scraper retouched.

Somebody really liked this one.

Here's hoping . . .

I'm not too computer-camera savy, but I use this online resizer, it's easy for me. I'm sure there is more than one way to do it. When I take pics off my camera, they are too big for e-mailing and forums. This resizer is easy too use. Not real fast though.

It's a good example of what's called "curation." The piled higher and deepers have decided this term means getting the most possible use out of a piece of stone
() rather than taking care of it, as you'd think.

They were as profligate and wasteful as we are when close to an easy re-supply of tool stone. But the further they got from one, and the longer they had to make do with what they had, the more ingenuity they showed. Result : the more combination tools like this they made.

The end of the end of the line would be to smash an exhausted flake of chert with a stone on an anvil stone and use the pieces it splintered into as gravers (twenty five cent term : radial fracture tools).

Holy Toledo. Is that a picture from uniface haha good job I am glad you are getting your files to open. Nice tool and the picture was fine. You can resize very quickly on a mac by dragging the pic to your desk top and then opening it and it will then be in a veiwer program called finder,click tools then click adjust size and then where it says other click drop down to choose 640x480. Click save. Hope this helps I had to learn it on a mac as well.
Nice job Bill.
Regards and congratulations

alright, good to see you figured out your image posting issues uni. That's an interesting paleo tool there. Do you know why they snapped certain edges into a burin? I've never been able to figure it out?

Thanks for the sites, friends. Tried both -- neither worked. They must be for microsoft computers. Image comes up fine but the box to click for importing it is dead in both cases.
