Lots of flint

[Always_Seek_The_Treasure]

Found these and a lot more on private property in GA. This spot has lots of natural flint. It almost seems like a small quarry. There is a small sink whole surrounded by large boulders of flint. These are some of the pieces that caught my eye. Any thoughts on identification would be appreciated.

Sorry, all I am seeing is natural flint.

Whiles it possible they may have used some of those chunks of flint I don’t see any that are worked either. Flint is one material that shows flaking prob better than any other

Thanks for the input. Would you mind sending me a link referencing worked flint artifacts? Google can be troublesome.

The last image that you presented looks like it may have something on it, any chance you might be able to take some additional photo's of it? Maybe lay it on it's side?

Thank you. Very informative and eye opening.

What I see is waste from where maybe they did do some spalling. It was common practice that if they knew where a flint deposit was they would dig down to it, but also you may have found a hole dug by someone for some reason or another. To tell for sure you would need to dig in that spot. If there are large chunks of flint around the hole and no sign of spalling off of them I would lean toward a modern hole.

Found this horn there. The family of the owners of the property were the first to settle the area. Owned it for generations. They all saw it as nothing more than a fishing hole. I believe the horn is from a domesticated animal that to the owner’s knowledge had never been raised on the property.

Monster rack is correct. The pit interests me as well
