Frame Friday (early)

[CreekSide]

It’s slow in here other than rocks so I’m starting the Frame Friday earlier so anybody who wants can jump in it will give you a few hours to find something you would like to show. If it’s reproductions that’s fine just say they are. My frame is all older NA points and tools I’ve actually found. These are some of my first few years when I mostly walked fields but a few are creek finds.
So let’s see some frames
NW Georgia personally found on private property back when they used to turn the fields twice a year. The tiny triangles are my smallest. 1/2 inch on some.

Just so you know you can post more than one frame if you like. That’s a great start

I have been trying to think of some way to display my larger finds that won't fit in a frame. Wall cabinet, display coffee table? Any ideas?

This frame has a Mill Creek spade, a paleo “platter”, and a piece of float copper.

The spade pic is taken at an angle to show the phytolith gloss from working plant material.

These large platter preforms were used by paleo Indians, and likely others too, as a good way to carry flint when traveling. Flakes are removed as needed.

I found this piece of copper in the river on a gravel bar in ‘85. That was a drought yr and the water was way down. I thought for a long time it was a damaged celt. It turns out to be just “float copper” that the glacier brought down to central IL. It’s not green because it was in water.
