So I finally started flipping chips in the same area that I found some stuff last month and this popped out.....not bad for a 30 minute search June 22 ASRA 2.jpg

Could be, certainly fits the same type of material that I found chips in area.....unfortunately most of what was bare soil is full of weedy groundcover now

Here is a shot of other side July 22 ASRA opposite.jpg

It’s crude, but it’s still an ancient artifact.

Hope you don’t mind if I add a couple crudities to your post for consideration.

These are a couple of crude flake points I found last week. Let’s call them Number 1 and Number 2.

Now, Number 1 is clearly a unifacial flake point. In fact, it resembles a Lamoka or Cape Stemmed Point with damage to the side of the base.

The other may be a very crude point with a broken tip, or it could just be piece of “number 2”.

I don’t flip as much as pick them up but can’t beat that little rush when you go for a flake and feel it stick in the ground and pull out a point.

I have found a heck of a lot of points flipping chips. Some places can be tedious but it always pays off!
