My crude world

[ink-a-alot]

These have all come from the the same spot that I have been looking at, some real crazy and crude stuff.
If you look to the lower right you will see a clump of something that I think is man made, it was all in what I think
is a fire pit. I also found some mussel shell bits near by. Some are recent finds from yesterday and today.. And some are old
finds.... Also check out the point with a hole in it..

ink-a-alot,

Nice bunch of tools. It kind of looks like the hole may have slightly rounded edges as though a thong may have been through it. Good way to carry your knife, maybe.
Have you found any petrified wood, points or scrapers in your area? Elsewhere in E. Texas I've seen a bit. Maybe in areas where there was little flint I guess you use what you got or can trade for.
Keep up the good work.

Well, Josh, I think the area where you are is between a certain bayou that we both know and love and a certain river that we both know and love. Either way, that was an area where that reddish brown stuff you find comes from in cobbles and such. People from as far away as the Panhandle traded for that stuff and on up into Oklahoma. I think what you may be looking at was sort of a "dealer's" home spot. Cobbles were reduced either to workable peices or into preform blades there for trade. The one with a hole in it is cool. I think the hole was already in the chert, but like Tenn. said, looks like there had been a thong in it for carrying. (Thats the most probable reason for cornertangs being made the way they were btw.)
Cool stuff you got there. Keep at it though. You'll come up with something to scream about before long.
