First Time Out This Year

[Huskerhunter]

Went looking in my field today and found some stuff. Didn't find any points, but I found pottery, a couple scrapers (one is ridiculously small), evidence of a trash dump, a small abrading stone, and some flint that is worked, but like I have never seen before. I Don't really know what they are, if anything at all. They all are uniform in size and shape though....





























Any thoughts?

Yes the 1-3 are scrapers called thumb scrapers. Very small as you can see. Now the last pic looks like reduction flakes, these were taken off of the main stone to produce artifacts on the inside core of the stone which is the hardest part of the rock. So I would call them flakes. Some were used if they were a good quality. If you plow your field it could of actually been done by your plow. I hunt a field where it was plowed and I do find pieces that look good but show no human traits on them so I figure they were created by the plow. Keep hunting if you have found scrapers there is bound to be more out there.
