On fire today!!

[hbrown22]

Hit a hot spot on the creek today near a cave that was rumored to have been excavated many, many years ago (several have said bows and other artifacts were pulled from it). The area did not disappoint! Wish we could have stayed longer, but I was torn between being a good parent and taking a sick kid home or saying suck it up. She only had to suffer a little Anyway, here's the goodies. If you know what anything is, let me know.

#1-This is the best stuff we found, Close up below.


#2-What is it? Reminds me of a turtle shell. Has been worked on both sides.


#3-Adena? My husband found it. 3 1/4" length, 1 1/4" at widest. Its thin


#4-Pinetree? Another one he found, only missing the tip of the base 2" length, 3/4" wide, 1/4" thick


#5-I found one! What could it be? Missing the base. 2" length, 1 1/2" width, about 1/4" thick


#6-Broken something. Both edges are worked, but on different sides and a different style. 2 1/2" length, 2" width, 1/2" thick


#7-Don't think this is fluted, but definitely has a smooth area with a "stop" on the bottom. 2" length, 1 1/2" width, 1/4" thick


#8-another Turkeytail?


#9-would have been pretty! The work all the way around the base is neat.


#10-A broke point, but seems to have been repurposed.


#11-scraper? I thought it was neat.


#12-large tools


#13-scrapers and small tools


As always, correct me if I'm wrong or if you know what something is, let me know! Thanks!!

It's dark brown with beige fossils/particles mixed in it. Amazing its not creek stain, just about everything is.

What a hunt! You scored in that spot for sure. The points are truly wonderful. The first one might be a blank or it could be a turtleback scraper or humpback scraper. Even all the tools look to have secondary work on them, thats a great day.

Yea, that turtle shell shape threw me. All the edges have work to them. I like the shape, even if it is a blank

If there is work on the edges it isnt a blank it will be a tool.

I'll try to take better pix of the edges tomorrow, I'm beat! We got a new kayak this weekend, and its wore me out. Very different from a canoe!
