Ive never been diehard, but always looked for them when I saw possibilities when I was young. Ive lost more than I have today, and some of these are what my grandfather found in his garden.
All are from White county. Eastern middle Tn.Sweet. I love the middle row of the first frame. A few early Archaic beveled points in there. What part of the State were they found?
Ive found some like that. Thanks for your input.First frame, bottom row, third from left. Looks to be Del Rio chert. It outcrops in a very small area near where those points were found.
VERY cool!
I'm sure that when freshly made, those quartz points were sharper. Quartz is harder to work and control as far as knapping goes, but fractures out to pretty sharp edges. Most times, the NA's used what was at hand, material-wise. Usually that material is found more east of your location.Ive found some like that. Thanks for your input.
Ive got several quartz heads. What's speculated those were used for? They are all so stubby and rounded that i cant see them used as any tool at all.
