a very nice collection

[huntress104]

I acquired this collection from an elderly lady in my area. She and her children had collected them over the last 40 years from local fields. The material these pieces are made of is really beautiful. I don't know what all of them are I just know they are great artifacts. Any opinions as to what they are would be appreciated.




well obviously I can't get the pictures downloaded. I will try again.........





any ideas as to what this might be

Thanks Digger. Yes the drills are really nice and not broken up. I really like the big white one in the first pic, upper right corner.

Thanks Creek Astronaut. I love the drills too, especially the big white one. I look at them at least three times a day.

yes very nice collection, 12 drils, points, blades, hafted scrappers and a triangle or 2. would youpost some close ups of a point in the secont photo down right side? the second 1 up,and second one from right side, looks like a steen ray to me, Terry

Tmode the closeups you asked for are posted at the bottom of the original pictures. I couldn't get them to post in this section for some reason....

Huntress!! that is the one. closeups helped can see flaking. looks like a flake that has been worked mostly on one face into a drill and maybe a spokeshave the base shows some work it might have been a prefurater. you are stell doing a lot better than i am, had to start over and have not been able to get a photo to post yet.

Very nice collection you have aquired.
I always wonder what motivates people to sell collections such as this after years of walking, searching and collecting.
My favorite is the little Thebes but they are all very nice.
