Small red flake

[Blackfoot58]

I walked the east edge of one of my timbers today. I found several flint nodules (small) and this red flake. I’m guessing it was heat treated. I marked the spot and plan to do a dig in that area this fall; just in case. All of my other heat treated flakes are much paler in color.

That does look heat treated.

Something to look forward to, hope you find more.

Here’s some I found today, about a state apart but seems awfully similar.

There is a lot of overlap when trying to visually identify flint. When I saw Blackfoot’s flake it reminded me of this one. This is heated Jasper from Bucks Co PA. I’m always skeptical when people say they found a point made of flint that originated hundreds of miles away. Sometimes true, sometimes not.

I've heard of obsidian points found in Ohio, & saw some in the museum in Columbus. The Hopewell & Adena cultures had a vast trade route. That being said they were extremely rare and usually recovered in excavated mounds.
