My Frames

[ShieldJaguar]

Thought I would post some pics of my frames. All of these are from the same creek in Jackson County Missouri and all are personal finds from the last 9 years. This creek had a settlement as I find lots of pottery. I have points that date to Dalton and Grahms Cave to Mississippian. I have more points that are in bags waiting for frames. One of these days I'll get around to buying more.



I found these three together on the bank of the creek after a heavy rain. The creek wall caved in and these were sitting on top. They had a dark grease on them. I have always thought they were in a deer hide pouch that had long disintegrated leaving the greasy film on them. Anyone have an idea on what the square piece is for? It has notches on both ends. A weight for an Atl Atl?




Here's a few more pics of other points in that frame.











Pen Drill


Turtle Effigy?


From the top it looks like it is broke where the head would come out but on the bottom side it is clearly made that way. The same patina over the entire piece.

Here is a frame of blades. There are some fluted uniface knives and a cobs or two.






Uniface knife



Anyone have an idea of what this was used for?




I think these are cobbs but not entirely sure.



A frame of scrapers. I have many bags of scrapers waiting for frames too.



One more frame of points from the same creek. It is crowded and needs to be thinned out when I get more frames. (Am pretty sure I need to get more frames this year, lol)

You have there a very nice collection. Item in photo's 25 and 26 looks like was hafted and may have been used as a skinning tool.

Nice creek you have! Wish mine would produce as many like yours has. On the square piece I don't think it is heavy enough to be a weight but might be a undrilled Gorget. Could of been tied on with cordage.
The black piece looks to a multi purpose tool with a reamer tip JMO.
The tan piece same multi purpose but most likely a huge end scraper which might be a oldie.
Very nice artifacts

That paddle drill is superNice collection.

Here's insitus of the drill. I found it after a small rain and right before a major flood in the creek that would have washed away and most likely broken the drill. I was on cloud nine for a long time.

Yes sir, you have a dandy creek, and a heck of a collection.

Keep up the good work, and keep us updated!
