Vermont Creek Finds

[undertaker]

It was a nice sunny day so I decided to walk one of my favorite creeks. It didn't take long before I found a 2 1/2 inch long super thin point. It has flaking and workmanship is like no other point I have ever found here in Vermont. It has a paleo look but no flutes. I also found what appears to be a gouge when I wandered upsteam. It is somewhat concaved on one side. Just as I was leaving I went back to where I found the first point and by luck I rolled over a arcahic ottercreek spearhead that is just under 3 inches long. I also found a small square ceramic thing with a design on it. It felt good to finally find a couple of nice artifacts. I was long over do. Any ID or approximate age the 2 1/2 inch thin point would be appreciated.

That first pic is of something paleo. IMO-parallel flaking.

My guess would be Fox Creek. They look for all heck like Paleos. Scroll down to them @

Nice northeast finds. I agree with Newt, and think that piece looks paleo...lance or even Agate Basin considering where you found it.

The small square ceramic thing I thought was a large button when I first picked it up out of the water. When I saw the back it changed my mine. It has a crude design on the front which appears to have been baked on when made. The blue reminds me of the blue you see on old crocks that have designs on them. Whatever it is Im thinking it was made in the early to mid 1800s. Here's a pic of the back.

Nice finds. On your lanceolate point, Paleo strikes me as far more plausible than a Woodland era Fox Creek. I have a number of Fox Creek points in my collection; none of them are nearly as finely made as your piece is. I agree that the flaking on your piece appears to be Paleo.

killer day of creekin.i have to agree that the first peice is an early type.The last peice is very interesting?thx for the look

Is there any basal grinding evident?

It has many Paleo characteristics.

I was wondering the same thing. It has a Paleo look so if there is basal grinding it could be.

Nice finds, no matter what type of point that is.
