Got a good one

[Older The Better]

Went for a quick look, found a few things. The serrated one is a first for the site. I noticed what looked like a straight edge in the dirt on the side of the hole when I sat down and pulled it out before moving a single scoop of dirt. As far as type it’s hard to say looks more broken on a serration than a chip off of a base.

Next I’d call a busted preform or blank, it was kicked out of a hole from something burrowing under a rock.

Then for the good stuff, this guy popped up in a scoop from under a large rock. It’s another new form from this site. The form is perfect, unfortunately it’s got some buildup on it… still thrilled to rescue it. Id eludes me for the moment, the best fits are from the northern plains up near and into Canada. A fun interpretation would be a hunting or war party making a deep push south from near Canada down into southeast Kansas and nearly Oklahoma.

nice finds.
the image of the shield nickle amd the point when viewed at that angle looks like a Hardaway.

congratulations on the finds

 

[CreekSide]

Nice whole little point.
The white one looks almost like a drill
Good finds

That little point does have some old characteristics, going by the latest overstreet guide, I didn’t see any great matches in the two regions that overlap my area, north central and south central, so I looked at the northern plains section and there were a bunch of good fits but they were all found basically on the Canadian border… could just be an unusual washita but I just don’t get that feel from it. My biggest hang up with considering archaic types and older is size, if the shield nickel isn’t familiar here’s a pic on the tip of my index finger

The white one I would be all over a drill except for the serrations, to my knowledge a serrated drill wouldn’t do so good but I could also be wrong.

I doubt that white one is a drill. Serrations would not be expected. Nor would an impact fracture from the tip. That one was made to cause massive blood loss. (IMO)

The tiny bifurcated point (cool find!) seems similar to the Morris Projectile Point of Missouri. Note specifically, the 3 u-shaped notches.

I like the morris, similar time frame, possible cultural association with caddo and not unreasonably far out of range, blue dot roughly where it was found… morris just might be the answer.

Around here that would probably be called an Oxbow.

Nice day out, the one with the serrations is cool.

Oxbow looks good too, thanks. Seems to be one of those types with lots of regional names
