Northeastern Paleo Tool Forms

[uniface]

Figured I might as well amuse myself by compiling a little field guide to some common NE paleoindian tool forms from some links I had saved. (Old computer won't copy & post images). Most are from Bull Brook in Massachusetts and none are exclusive to NE. FWIW then

That's more homework than I can read this week, but the first few clicks are great.

Sent you this link as a PM but apparently PMs aren't processing (no record of sending on this end, no response). FWIW, if you're collecting such stuff (I stopped years ago), it helps that either nobody else seems to know what these (& similarly old tool forms) are, or that there are so few interested in them that there's nearly no competition for them.

We are having some tough times with messages right now across the site........ dang virus.

Thank You, Tn.

If someone would grab the flea bay picture & post it, future readers would know what we were talking about. Because once flea prey takes it down, the window of opportunity closes. There are about 1,797 examples of that problem here already.
