Tossing out insults bill? I think that is against the rules here.

i know you aren’t insulting me though, I am an up and in your face kinda guy.

I don’t nibble at heels, but I will bark at BS.

Here are a few items from the dakotas similar to the crescents shown prior.

 

[welsbury]

Crescent shaped maybe but not crescents

yes sir, that’s why I said they were similar. But I have seen items like mine called crescents on occasion.

 

[Geradot]

Point of flint, found in the outbreak.
stone structure changed from a high temperature.

 

[welsbury]

When you speak of high temps., what is that from? Volcanic activity.extreme ground fires. That point looks weird with the cracks in it, like it swelled up and split.

 

[Geradot]

She is found in the ashes of the hearth of the dwelling.

 

[arrow86]

That’s pretty neat looking

 

[BillA]

heated by accident, or on purpose?
found only in hearths?

Bill

 

[arrow86]

Guessing volcano activity since there’s a lot of obsidian too

I think they were thrown into the fire intentionally. There were about ten burnt arrowheads.

 

[quito]

Those are some big arrowheads!!

so do they seem to be (?) any different functionally (hardness, edge, toughness, ?)
they seem to be in quite nice condition

I ask because there are other paleolithic cultures thad did heat specific rocks to increase their hardness (?), SA as I recall.

As we know, re-molten glass loses some properties. It becomes very fragile. These samples, of course, lost their initial properties. I showed those samples that have been preserved very well. Others, baked, forming a single whole. Completely changed the structure of the glass. Foamed, became very light, remained afloat in water, did not sink. I gave these samples to scientists.

 

[Geradot]

Found an interesting instance, a curve knife.

 

[welsbury]

Does that inside curve have use wear like the outside? Was there more to that piece you think? Wear seems heaviest on that curved portion

 

[kyphote]

I’m not sure what’s better, your finds or your photographer.

I am a concrete contractor and beekeeper, been dealing with dominant men and stinging insects full time for a long time. I am not used to dancing around things.

For the record, and not to take us too off track, the above is maybe my favorite TreasureNet quote of all time.
