Had another good hunt today.....Paleo again!

[TundraPlugger]

Went out hunting on the same areas I have been hunting to see if I had missed anything. There is still 95% snow coverage up here so places to look are limited.

I hadn't really found anything until I came across a broken tip that was kind of camouflaged on the ground. I didn't think much of it so I didn't take an in-situ photo. I picked it up and turned it over and found I had found a tip to a Folsom point!

Found a few broken pieces of points and one full Lookingbill point about a half hour later. Found a nice scraper as well.

The micro-flaking on the Folsom tip is phenomenal!

Once again killer finds , that bifurcated point looks to be fluted on one side ... is that a common type or you think it was a larger fluted knife and than worked down into the point ? Really neat looking I don’t recall seeing notched and fluted points

Thanks arrow! That type of point normally has large thinning flakes taken off, sometimes just like flutes. It's not often that you see them with that much of a flute though. I think they are about 6500 to 7000 years old. Base is heavily ground which is also a common characteristic of Lookingbill points.

It seems the white one and the smaller honey one are also late Paleo. Very nice stuff.

Nice! I really like that root beer color!

Beautiful finds and I love the color too! What type of stone is that honey color?

5 of the pieces are Knife River Flint. The full Lookingbill point is some sort of cobble chert and the little gray point is some sort of cobble chert as well. 98% of the artifacts found in my area are made from KRF.

Most of the stuff I found is made from Knife River Flint. The full point and nearly full point are made from cobble chert I believe......it's fairly rare to find stuff not made from Knife River Flint.

Great assortment of things. Have you found any whole folsom? Looks like plenty of brokes. You take a good pic too ,nice and clear.

That Folsom point would have been quite long when originally made. Awesome finds!

Thanks welsbury! I've never found a complete Folsom......yet! I think this might be my year though......hopefully.

Thanks josh! It would have been a big one, that's for sure. Looks to be an ancient break so I doubt I'll have much luck finding the base sadly. I'm happy with what I got though!

Great looking finds. I really like the Lookingbill Point but the Scraper is my favorite. That is some very fine flaking along that edge.
