N. FL Unifacial Tools - SHOW YOUR UNI's!!!!

I don't even remember what the site was like to dig. Oh yeah, it was deep.
I haven't found the points yet. I bet at least a little of my low back pian is due to diggin for these very tools.
Came across a box today that said, "Lake Bird Tools" LOL
Lake Bird, Taylor Co., FL

Chipped Adze

They sure were using a lot of unifacial "Banana" scrapers, wonder what the most use was for...?
Most tools like this I have found in rivers. These were all dug. I know they are found in different time periods but
these were most likely in the Bolen range.

Interesting tools, Tom. North Florida is where you expect to find a good number of uniface tools. Here are some of mine:

I really like the flake knife, Tom. The Suwannee has been good to you, too.

I posted this piece on the wrong thread last night. I found it over the weekend. I think it is like one of Harry's pictured above.











I found this one weekend before last near the one above. Is the "tail" or hafting area broken or was this one made like this?







Thanks for any info!!

 

[GatorBoy]

Dunno.. But it reminds me of this.











Pretty ugly but it's there. Doesn't show up real well in the photos.
