***Killer find*** Biface, any info?

[Indian_artifact]

Hi everyone,

I found this a couple of days ago. I was at a site close to a river, and up the river, I was finding knapped quartz pieces but nothing else.

Down the river, there's a place where it's super eroded. It's also a really good place to set up an Indian campsite. I saw a tree that had fallen on the side of the river and under the tree, I saw this wonderful piece lying directly on the soil. After 4 months of periodically hunting for Indian artifacts, this is hands down my best find.

I would appreciate if anyone could give me more info on the biface itself (was it resharpened, is it made from chert, which historic period, etc..).





Thank you so much

Found in New-York.

I'd say it's a preform. Good find and welcome.

Very nice find.

It is like likely a preform. There may be several more of them close. Often pre forms were made and then cached to finish later.

Yes I haven't looked around much yet since I was about to leave the place when I found it. However, I'll make sure to look and dig at the top of the eroded area since it's most likely where it came from!

Look the top bank as well as the next gravel bar downstream.
