Not much but something... broke the dry spell

[jmaschal]

My favorite fields have not been turned over this year so I have been scrambling a bit. These finds are from two separate locations.

Tools- found these along the Susquehanna River. Nice example hammerstone - usage all over. Also some sort of grinder or pestle. The third tool I guess some sort of hammerstone- good usage and polished spots on two sides.

Went to a new field found two damaged points - Quartz stemmed and ryholite possible brewerton. Also found scraper. Happy with field finds - nice 1.5 hour walk.

Thanks!

I like that spotted white material.

At first glance this point looked like a dinged up fluted paleo, but on a closer look it isn't. A cool almost awesome find. (Still awesome since it broke the dry spell, but not quite as awesome as a fluted point breaking the dry spell.)

@joshuaream I didn't think anything of it until I posted the picture. It's def not though. But I was shocked to find a banded rhyolite piece where I found it - def not a common material.... wish it was complete.

Good finds! The stemmed point is a real heart breaker. Looks well made.

Nice quartz pieces are the dots in the material or on it?

Dots on it... pics were after quick clean.
