N. Alabama Tool

[antmike915]

6 by 2 1/2 Spade or flaked Celt. One of my few creek finds in N. Alabama when I was 12 years old. I cleaned it way back when but still left some of the creek stain on it. This is one of my favorites because of the evident use wear. The material is more mid shade tan chert than what the pictures are showing and the creek stain is more evident in person.

That's one heck of a bi-face! Are they all the same piece?

Very nice. I bet it cut a nice furrow come planting time.

Nice Woodland Hoe. They preferred oval styling. Mississippian period made the best from what I’ve seen.

Love it. great piece, it must be a thrill to pull out such a big piece, biggest I’ve found are about 3 inches.

I have another that's close to the size of this. A couple around the 4 inch range but most of mine are around 3 inches or smaller.
