today finds

[creek astronaut]

went hunting today with picaway.from 8 till noon the day sucked.from noon till 230 i can only say "twilight zone".and from 230 till dark the day ended the way it should always begin.found the point 2nd from the left as we were walking out of the field.was really excited when i flipped this one out of the mud.it was a little dark when i found it and picaway and i thought i may have found a clovis.a perfect one.the pics dont do it justice.dont think its clovis but would like some opinions? i think it is definitely paleo/transitional paleo.it may appear to have a ding on base,but actually it is a fossil inclusion.incredibe chipping and has a small flute on one side.the other pic is of the days tally.bottom two rows are brokes and the rest are scrapers and tools.and one hammerstone.this does not include what picaway bagged.he should be posting some pics.

HOLY COW!! All in one day? I'm still trying to train my eyes to recognize them. I can't wait to find my first one. I look and look but don't know what the heck I'm looking at LOL Oh well, some day. Outstanding job. WTG

I think that those finds are amazing... my hubby and I are looking at them and are amazed/ the "clovis" we think is actually more of a Angostura... Early to Middle Archaic.... 8,800 to 7,500 BP ( before Present)... We looked it up in our book, and the fluting doesnt seem to fit a clovis, but more of the style previously mentioned... great finds though... Makes a day of our finds look weak!

Yeah that was a killer day.I'm thinking that piece falls into the lanceolate catergory beautiful piece of ridge its made of.I only found 1 birdpoint ,bunch a brokes & some of the best scrapers ive ever found.I finally broke my 09 streak of no whole one found.Also found a broken stemmed lanceolate point frikn made out of FR moss agate!Thanks again Greg for meeting up & taking me to a great field.

got some better pics of the sweet one.thx for the nice comments everyone.yea i am believing it falls in the lanceolate category.it has perfect symmetry and if you held it your hand i think most would grade a 9 or 10.it also has that transclucent blade edge when held in the light right.tried that pic but it just wont come out clear.thanks for going picaway,it was a great time.
