Post Your Flint Ridge Artifacts

[1320]

I've always enjoyed Larsons KRF artifacts so I was hoping to see some points/scrapers made from Flint Ridge material. In the hundreds of hours that I've spent looking for artifacts in Kentucky, I've found only one small piece of it. It is one of my favorite materials.

Here's a few of my better Flint Ridge pieces. The dark Side Notch Point is made from Nethers, but it's hard to see the banding because of the river staining and patina. The Side Notch on the left in the last photo is made from some jewel Flint Ridge.

Top row, left....Thebes? I see the pink hue in the middle row kinda like what SOHIO posted earlier, very nice. Thanks Reap, awesome examples.

Yeah, I'm sure it's a Thebes. I had a guy argue with me that it was a Dovetail, but I believe it's a Thebes.

The only thing that remotely resembles a dovetail on that point is the " stem". Although I could not name it myself, had I found it, I would never have thought dovetail. Glad I'm not the absolute worst at point identification. Nice show by the way Reap. I see why you say " come along my friends to the show that never ends". Who sings that by the way? 3 dog night Like it anyway!!
