My Little Corner of the Artifact World

In the front left corner of my work shop--a few I have laid out--most are broken.

Tdog,
There’s a frame to the right of the gun-rack -showing all vertical stemmed quartz points. If you get the chance, could you post a close-up of that frame?

Thank you

Yes. Let me put up a couple I have of the ones with the white backing and I'll go take a pic of those.

The ones in the cedar frame are modern and made by Jim Hopper. Material is Oregon Jasper. The single black one in the Riker frame is modern and made by Tim Severn from California. Material is banded obsidian. The two in the other Riker frame were gifted to me, are authentic and are from a Kentucky area collection. I believe the one on the left is an Adena made of Coshocton and the right is a bi-pointed knife (possibly Adena culture also) and I think the material is Burlington.

Here's the one you asked about MAMucker. All finds from plowed fields on my property near Kowaliga on Lake Martin--Elmore Co. Alabama. The center piece is broken and glued. I found the tip and a few weeks later my friend Dan found the base. I believe some of these are Pickwick knives. I took two pics--one without the flash and one with it. Sorry for the glare.

Edit: I'm adding in an older pic of a few of them.

Those are beautiful quartz Stemmed Projectile Points. The serrations and details are incredible. The person who made them was quite skilled and had talented hands. Love them!!

The frame is stunningly simple. How the heck did you suspend those points? Glue?

This is the first frame I made with the intention to put points inside and since I did it, I've discovered that it's not the best way to mount artifacts. I used a dab of 100% silicone to mount the points directly to the back of the frame. I have a few others I did the same way. Thank you for your interest.

Thanks brother. I got tired of not being able to talk artifacts with like minded folks, share the things I know with them and learn new things about the rocks and ground we're all walking on. Just tryin' to fit in and be productive.
