South Dakota Finds

Picked these up this spring from my favorite site. The little pink guy is a re-based tip. I just love finding those kind of points. The knife river flint traveled at least a couple hundred miles to get here.

Thanks!

I myself wouldn't assign a name to them other than corner or side notched points in this part of the state, but one of them would pass for one just about anywhere.

and, I should add that the other would likely fall into the prairie side notch category.

Great find there. Knife River Flint is always a good "get".

KRF was north dakotas first export commodity

Yessir, it sure is some fine material. It was highly prized and used wisely evidently. Just about every flake I pick up ( and I pick up every one of them I see) shows sign of use or alteration no matter how small. I am dissapointed we don't find more, but at the same time happy I find what I do if you know what I mean.

Three nice finds, and yes, like other high grade Plains lithics KRF was carried long distances. We have found a number of KRF artifacts 550 miles south of the N. Dakota source.
