cooked gravel Evans point

<< < (2/3) > >>

1442:
thanks.
I have several pieces of rock that I've picked up from these camp areas and it is rare to find one that works well because they used everything they could and if they left one it normally has problems that make it not good to knap.
The test flake they took on this one happened to be on the end with the grainy material and they didn't proceed. I guarantee if they'd taken a flake off the other end, this rock would have been worked into a point.

Trapper Rob:
Nice looking point & nice color also.

selfbow joe:
Nice one!

Tower:
Sweet Point!!Spot on for an Evans.  I still get amazed at the colors a lil gravel  can have in it !!

nclonghunter:
Makes me wonder if a natural occurring forest fire could have cooked surface rock and that is how the first heat treatment happened. If they randomly picked up pieces in a burned area and discovered a change in its color and quality....just sump'n to ponder.
