Hixton sugar quartz clovis from Wolcott, IN

[WhiteCountyPaleo]

This Clovis was found by my cousin while working a field. The ground was black. The region was once a wetland and has been drained by the making of ditches so the land could be farmed. I bet this was used to kill a mammoth or two! The tip has been restored with hot glue and it has a chip at the bottom probably due to hitting the bone of a mammoth? It also shows signs of being in a fire once because some of the blackened surface has disappeared from resharpening. (hard to see here).

What a beauty!
Killer find!

Yeah it was laying in a box full of arrowheads and "what nots" before it was traded for. Gosh!
Those are original dings though! This piece is one of a kind! Makes you not want to ignore the low black spots. Just think of what has been passed up merely because people tell them selves, "It doesn't look good over there in that black dirt!" That's probably where most of the mastodons hung out at.

This comes from around you! Have you found any hixton? If so, you should group your hixton pieces and post. Rare stuff especially down this far in Indiana!
