Sunday 2-19-12 Dig Find

[Bagman13]

Hello Everyone

Had a slow day this past Sunday on the river, but managed to come up with a nice one
I'm not sure of the type? Snyders maybe?
I'd appreciate an id if anyone could chime in?
It was a fun day and the weather was great. So crazy to be late-Feb. and really no need of a jacket while out.....

Good luck and happy hunting.........

Thank you very much flintmel.

I'm not sure of the material?
I'm about as bad on material as I am on point typology.....
Now you've got me curious on the material as well

Nice find. Looks to be out of a tabular flint. Could be a Hopewell related point. Might be a little earlier though, late Archaic into early Woodland. Either way it'd in the case for me.

Thanks Hutch!

I was reading your last post about sifting.
Don't worry.....you'll find a suprise in your screen pretty soon I'm sure

At one of my spots, I hit an area that was gangbusters then went totally cold.
Discouraging, but what can a person expect? I guess that's part of the fun of it.
Just that my ground is so hard, I've been too lazy to start a new hole, but I know I'll get in another good spot with a little elbow grease, a sore back, and patience

Sifter!! i have not seen any photos of your shelters so i talking like somebody has sifted there dirt right under the drip line on dug inside sheter untill pit is under drip line. eather way rain water will be led inside shelter. if this matchs your shelters a little shovel or hoe work will turn water out side insted of inside. shelters stay dryer and you can show us more artifacts. let me know if this helps or need more info.
