Tried to hit a site before the little bit of rain… nothing earth shattering but a few interesting finds, not shown are a bunch more bits of burnt bone, mussel shell, flint, and fossils
Here’s a deer rib with both human made cut marks and chew marks
And another piece of bone from a large animal, possibly bison with a couple more cut marks, the big one seems too clean that might have been me
A nice big piece of woodland pottery… very hard to come by around here
Then some questionable flint
First one looks very worked on one side very flakish on the other maybe a removal from a nearly finished tool? Outside chance at a scraper maybe.
Next is a very large removal, I don’t see intentional flaking on the top but possibly a quick blade or I’m wondering if it wasn’t the cap removed from a core to create a flat surface
Lastly another head scratcher is it a dirty blade? A possible adze, scraper? or a core… the reason I hesitate with a core is the removals wouldn’t produce a very long flake at best they could get a small arrowhead.
