I found this point in 1982.

made from highly paginated Burlington chert, the spokeshave on the blade edge has very good secondary percussion flaking. Give the spokeahave a steep bevel.

Very nice.

this points spokeshave has fine secondary flaking. I found this in 1980 in Jefferson County Missouri.

Found this a few months ago. Love the material and flaking on it. I think it may have been a point repurposed into a spokeshave.

Paleo Spokeshave from the Great Basin

Found this in Deschutes county Oregon last summer on my property. I had no idea what it was but now im wondering if it could actually be something.

Would you type the above point as a Waubesa?

 

[dognose]

No, I have a point which I think types as a Waubesa from Frankline Co Mo, made of Heat treated Burlington. The tip has been thinned and rechipped. The cross section is very thin.

I think that point would best be typed as a Adena Stemmed, but that just my view.

 

[dognose]

This point was found in 2005, made of Zaleski chert.

Here is a closeup of the spokeshave, I have attempted to show the knapping in the spokeshave.

The first pic was my grandfather's find near Tombstone a long time ago. The rest are Great Basin Crescents I have found over the years. The purpose of which is hotly debated but spokeshave is one of the possibilities.View attachment 2112970View attachment 2112971View attachment 2112972View attachment 2112973

Very cool. Nice bead finds too.
