I hit one of my Ft Ancient sites a couple of days ago and didn't do as well as I'd hoped considering all the rain we've had since my last visit, but I still found some decent pieces. Almost everything I found was broken or damaged except for one Bone Bead and a Marginella Shell Bead. I did find what would have been a killer Deer Antler Flaking Tool if it didn't have the drilled end busted out. It had been drilled almost an inch deep and has a nice tip on it, but the side is busted out of it along the base. I also found half of a Bears Tooth that is split right in two along the entire length. It doesn't show any signs of drilling, but you can see polish marks all over it where they had carved it a little to thin it along the root, so my guess is the drilling was in the missing part. All the points are either just tips or bases, no whole ones. I also found the tip off of a Bone Awl.
The first picture is the days finds. The top row from the left is a piece of cut Deer Antler, the Antler Flaker, the Bears Tooth, a broken Bone Bead, the good Bone Bead, and the Marginella Bead. The bottom row is all of the broken points and the Bone Awl in the center and then a close up of the Bone Awl.
The last three pictures are some other pieces I have found there in the past year or so and a close up of some of the Drilled Teeth and Beads.
