Today was a good day. I was up late last night reading a 333 page archeological report on a site that I have been hunting for a while now. This one site has had every thing from paleo to protocontact stuff found on it. I got four hours of sleep, and hit the road. At first things went slow. I found this group of artifacts. It does include a broken triangle point that is paper thin, a first for me.

I also found this strange blade. Look at where and how it would have been hafted.

I also found a glass marble, that isn't perfectly round. It's not a trade piece, I wouldn't think.

I also found a piece of glass that appears to have been worked into a scraper.

It could just be a broken piece of glass. I hope Gator will chime in on this one. My last post worthy finds are this milling stone and possibly it's mate. They sat side by side. Seems unlikely, but possible.

Thanks for the view, and let me know what you think about any of the odd finds. I'm certain of one thing, and that is my uncertainty. Let's hear some thoughts!

#23 is hard to see but it looks like it has a dimple on it. Looks to be a Metate and #4 is a strange looking tool, you got some good points in the mix also. Looks like you had a good hunt to me.
 

great post my man ! :icon_thumright: i find those "strange blades with hafts" too like that i have several
 

You DID have a good day huh.. I can't see the piece of glass well enough to see any pressure flaking tracks. It kinda looks like pieces I see that have been in a burn pile.sometimes they look funky. Nice old marble.... point too.

The pic just before the marble. Is it broken or finished? If it isnt broken it is a Edge Field Scraper.
