Its always something.

It's always something.

I got out a few times this week and it's always something and usually something nice and/or unusual. A few of nice scrapers, points and a very cool pot shard.



Please excuse the order of the photos. This was not the order in which they where uploaded.

Once again a killer day T.....................awesome finds. I'm especially liking the red jasper triangle. Is it basally ground? Or are those thinning flutes?..........GTP(Chris)

 

[flintdigger]

Those are really great scrapers, that one is especially nice. Some really nice rim shards too. Those are some real goodies, man I these artifacts.

I'm a little embarrased to tell you that I don't know as I've not spent much time learning about the flaking styles and techniques. That's why I like posting things here. I learn a little from you guys everytime I post something. Here are some moer detailed photos. What do you thinks?

I'm only looking on my phone right now but that is a very nice point. I belive I see fluting flakes as well as grinding on the base...that plus the patina makes it look to me like an early triangle. VERY NICE

 

[flintdigger]

It look's like some base thinning flakes were removed, and it look' like it is ground.

Congratulations, Really nicely worked thumb scraper.

 

[larson1951]

it is actually a point rather than a scraper
we have about 20 or so points made from rbsw
never found a knife or scraper.... i am thinking since it doesn't hold an edge very good
it sure looks like it was easy to work with
it is RBSW-rainy butte silicified wood
i don't think the base is ground but it is hard to say since the material is very soft
nice little piece

Dennis, do you ever find any rainy butte in montana
i am thinking maybe?

 

[GatorBoy]

I didn't think I was seeing things. I know very little about that material but can usually tell a point from a scraper.

Steve; I was refering to the third photo from the top at the begining of the post. Also I am not sure about the Rainy Butte material, but I will look thru my stashes and see if I have anything that resembles this material. Is this Rainy Butte material the same as the red colored point pictured above?

Yes old digger, that's the material.

 

[old digger]

T Witko, or Steve; Does this look like the Rainy Butte material?

 

[larson1951]

yup, yup dennis my good friend......it sure looks like it to me....it is for sure..the rainy butte material is pretty stuff
and i see what you said about the scraper....i should know you were not refering to the rbsw point
i saw it after kelly found it
it is a picture perfect example
if you look at image #9 you can see the back side of it
