Cores/Turtle Backs

[newnan man]

Going through some old boxes of stuff and decided to post these. I've posted much of my stuff over the years but not these. You can see the flakes that were removed to use as blades resulting in the hump back shape. Some obviously were used as scrapers as they have edge wear, others no. The one with the hole in it has a flake scar running its entire length. Side view of a couple. Pretty cool I think.

Nice I have some of those hump back ones. Got a large box of preforms and have come to the conclusion they are just blades. Watched a guy peg down a hide real tight and cut the hide.
Nice artifacts.

Those are cool. Nice fossils too. I found one or possibly two turtle backs this spring

I found a core this weekend, I was explaining what made it a core to someone and I’m not sure they believed me said it just looks like a rock haha. Cores are a tough sell to people that don’t look at artifacts all the time.

I keep them in boxes or piled around small trees in my yard. They're not much to look at but I like them. Must have been important to the NA's.
