The last photo is a piece of a drilled tiger shark tooth. It would have been a beauty. Here is a whole one for comparison. That socketed bone point is awesome. Only the second hole one I've ever found.

Interesting pottery, design on the inside? I'm guessing something more than the average pot. The bone point is really cool also. Good eyes picking out the broken drilled tooth. Very nice, Thanks for the different view.

I agree Viking. Is that worked Spanish glass Gator ? Nice finds not even including that celt.

 

[GatorBoy]

Thanks for checking out my stuff. I never know what is going to come from that place. Points and artifacts from archaic to contact and representative pottery covering the whole span.

I'm guessing the glass is Spanish. I've also found broken olive jar fragments and an entire rim that was marked and some silver at the same spot. There was a fort for a short time in the early 16 Hundred's.

Cool. You know that had to be such a transitional period for those Indians. All that new material in glass and metal yet they continued to use the ancient skills they had on what was then a very modern material. I think that is a great stand alone artifact in it's self. Thanks!

Thank you!

That is one special place you have there Gator! Have you any thoughts on why it was occupied for such a long period? I think you mentioned earlier that it's protected or something like that?
