Last Two Hunts

[Americus]

These were found Saturday and Thursday. The first two are pretty nice. I really like the hafted scraper.





Do you have any idea what this is? It appears to be complete and is uniface. This is not the first one of these I have found.











These would have been nice.

I was just thinking to myself....I wonder where Americus has been? And here you are.
I believe the second one is a end scraper. I find them also. I got 2 I can show 1 with cortex still on and one worked without cortex.

That one looks like a nice uniface end scraper.
Likely Hafted small end down into a bone or wooden handle.
P.S. thanks again.
I sent you a reply.

Mabey a handle something like this

Americus,
I tell you, You're going to push the floor into the basement with all them arrowheads you find! But don't worry about it too much because when you do, I'll help dig you back out. Nice finds.

I found a hafted scraper exactly like that a month ago. Notice the one side almost has teeth. I wonder what that is for...

If it isnt broken at the stem section I would say scraper. If it is broken them probably the base to a drill. JMO

I don't see why a little extra couldn't have been taken off of those to create a graver spur just like on the handheld versions.
Or Mabey even to act a bit like a serrated edge to cut through tough connective tissue while removing a hide.

It looks like an ice cream spoon but that can't be right. Nice color and I will come with Ga Rebel to help dig you out. Nice color and finds.

That's a good observation.
If what looks like a stem on that is broken and the same with the top then BobGuy's piece could be a Cobbs drill with a broken bit.

Yeah I believe that was the longest part for me on the learning was the damage stem on so many pieces from the fields I hunt. I have so many that look like they arent broken but either the stem or the tip is damaged and it is hard to tell the difference.

 

[BobGuy]

Interesting. Do you guys have any whole pieces that we can compare to?

 

[rock]

Well here is a small version for you just missing the very tip. This is another piece nobody has ever seen me post before.
