hey Dork, what are the chances of that pipe being a fish head rather than a baby bird ?

Clovis point that was picked up thousands of years later by Stanly Culture a rechipped. Has two areas of patination with the heaviest being the original clovis surface. Still retains a flute.

 

[larson1951]

yes road, very interesting piece

 

[abarnard]

Those Stingray knives are unbeleivable to say the least. Uniface, that Limace with the gravers on the end is sweet. Great posts all ya'll. I guess I need to post something here soon.

Larson, that was my first thought after I picked it up and cleaned the sand off of it. I was really hoping to find some eyes or fins engraved on the side of the Pipe, but there aren't any other carvings on it but the mouth. I took it to the ASO show in Columbus and had a few of the old time collectors look at and they said they thought it was a baby bird and that they had seen that same mouth on other pipes that represented birds.

My daughters first find. Nothing really special about it other than it was her first arrowhead.

 

[larson1951]

I still can't figure out what this is

never the less it seems cool

the picture of a papoose wrapped in a blanket with one hand showing and a feather in it's hair is on the large end

the other picture looks like a badger or maybe a turtle??
it seems too big to be a hair pin
the small end shows a lot of wear to the design, it must be from someones thumb
this may indicate that it was held in the hand quite a bit

 

[uniface]

Interesting, Lars. They seem to have really liked badgers and chevrons

Road Dog : From how pointed the (un-patinated) business end of that is, I wouldn't be surprised if your re-cycled point hadn't been a Cumberland, rather than a Clovis. Clovis tips were blunt as a rule : re-working one to get that kind of tapering point would have taken the patinization off as it did elsewhere on it.

FWIW

Very nice show folks!! Some great artifacts posted up.

Here are a couple of my oddball finds that I am quite proud of. One is a Buffalo scrapper, and the other is what I like to call my Easter Island pendant.
