First good trip of the year

[captain redbeard]

Its been bone dry in central NY, but a good field was plowed so I figured I would take a walk and see if I could cherry pick anything on top and It turned out pretty well. Ended up with half a celt that has a greenish color to it, almost looks like marble and a few points.

Good finds. Congrats. Because it is flat on one side, the bit you found looks more like an adze to me.

Terminal Archaic time frame, FWIW. Maybe 1,000 BC.

All fine material Captn.

The way the hard stone changes makes me wonder if that was a vein, of what looks like k-feldspar, that created a weak point where it broke… but I have almost 0 hard stone experience being in a sedimentary basin myself so I could be way off the mark

Lots of makers of hardstone tools took advantage of seems and inclusions in celts and axes, even when it probably made for a slightly weaker tool. I'm sure that celt was strikingly beautiful when made.

A rare example of form over function.
