Montana Artifacts #1.

[old digger]

Here are some Montana artifacts that I have found. Some have already been posted and a few have not been shared before. I guess that I have been reluctant to share until now.

Some very nice stuff. I really like that Ovoid knife. What are its stats?

 

[ArfieBoy]

Cool artifacts. What part of Montana? Were they all found in Montana?

 

[PaleIO]

Awesome collection! I really like that biface

 

[old digger]

The ovoid knife is 7 5/8 inches long and 3 inches wide, and about 3/8 an inch thick.

These artifacts were all found in central and eastern Montana.

.... I’ve been hopping you would post some pics. I’ve looked at your red jasper Clovis ever chance I get.
Looks like a Colby Clovis in the heart of those paleo spikes. Top right in the red looks like Cody knife too.
It looks like a flattop drill too? Pink in first frame. Second row?
That point in the bone you have along with all these bones is as good as it gets also..

Oops! I forgot a few of those were found in North Dakota. The one abrader (larger grove), and the two on the far right in the second row, (first frame). Steve (Larson 1951) and I couldn't figure out what they were used for. They have a silky smooth appearance to them.

You have a nice collection of High Plains artifacts there OD.

I recognize some of that is Cody Complex artifacts. Fantastic finds.

Very nice frames.
Liking the red jasper, really is a fine looking piece.

Super red Clovis, and nice collection.

I am really sorry about the photo's, I'm going to have to redo all these threads. I am thinking that maybe I need to do each point separately, or is it that I need to take them out of the frames and shoot only a couple at a time on a flat surface? Give a little more time to figure this one out. Thanks!

 

[H.P.]

It’ll be time well spent

Looks like Montana produces some good looking relics.

Way cool group of points, thanks for taking the time. Very enjoyable.

Those are really nice artifacts you found. A closeup of that red Clovis would be nice.

 

[old digger]

Red Clovis.

It’s a big one for sure! Looks well made at that. Thanks!

The point is 1inch and 7/8. I believe it might have been reworked?
