I found a couple

rock · Jan 21, 2015

I went out Tuesday and found a couple nice ones. One I believe is a Cotaco Creek (stemmed) and the other well I think its a fancy spike but not sure. The small one is the same type as the bigger black one by the base but has been sharpened to a nub. If Im wrong on the I.D. feel free to correct me. Thanks, rock

What do you think about morrow that was my first knee jerk guess. You are finding where all those flakes came from it looks like! Nice ones. I have seen and found those little ones from Mississippi to late archaic sites. What is your site multi?

Could be MM not really sure. But yes it a multi of many years and ages. It looked tan in the water after it dried that is how it looked. Thought I had lost the tan one.

I swear I could dig around and almost match your pieces with some more from my area. That black chert (3rd pic) is of good quality. You will see some great work on it sometimes. You can see on the first one where they were thinking about that rind or stack and just let it be. They tackled it but left it alone and used it as is.
I like your finds!

Is the black one a spike?

Tnmountains · Jan 21, 2015

You mean as in type? We have the bradley spike and I think the Tn river spike (that may not be a real type) I can show you a bradley spike and I saw E Tn Joe post one also. Want a pic?
