Today was a great day. Went out fishing and hunting artifacts. I found the smallest serrated triangle ever.
I looked around that spot a few more minutes, and found a piece of shell. It is most definitely traded in to the area. This is a salt water shell. The Occoneechee occupied the area I was hunting/fishing today. They controlled trade in every direction of the compass for 500 miles. The book that I have on this particular site has listed many conch pendants. I'm not sure if what I have is a broken pendant, a scraper, or if it holds any significance. I hope Gator will look at this and give his opinion. He or Tom, both are good sources on shell.
Also found a preform or a small blade
Then I found a piece that looks like a hammer stone or a grinding stone, but it has 3 or 4 grooves all the way around it. I'm not sure what it is, if any thing. I need some help my good friends! If nature made these grooves with water, she flipped them perfectly. Could be a net sinker?
Found a crude hoe. The local museum has several like it. That's how I recognized it. Also a broken blade or scraper.
Last, but not least, is one I will get called a dreamer over, so I'm going to show you pics. In the book on this site, for my back up. It's the second one that I've found on this site, as well. It's a projectile made from deer phalanges!
Here are a couple in my book.
Hope you enjoy these, and let me hear opinions, please!
