bjrogg:
Thanks Eddie. I find a lot of small pieces of this stuff usally freeze cracked and holes like that point you found.
Bjrogg

Zuma:
I like to see found points etc. :)
There is a story in every one.
At least the knapper didn't bust it in half
and you have a complete artifact.
Butt it is kinda homely.
What was this guys excuse? Just a tiny triangle.
Zuma
BJ your chert looks really a lot like some
Florida cherts I have found. Cool point

bjrogg:
Looks like he was having trouble getting that turtle back off Zuma kept trying till just small point with big turtle back. I hate when that happens. I really enjoy looking at artifacts almost all of the ones around here are pretty crude looking. It's written in stone, they struggled with the same problems I do. Steps stacks, hinges, turtle backs, poor quality material. In the end I think they were happy to use what they ended up with if it could bring something to camp that was a meal.

Tower:
I have found many big clunkers like that.  I think of kids toys When I find big ugly points like that. Looks almost like the real thing, but not nearly as lethal.

mullet:
Yea, Don. You could knock something out with this one. He did run a couple of nice diagonal flakes across it.
