[QUOTE="Lost Lake, post: 3710205, member: 12599"] In some instances, even when local chert and flint was readily available, colorful material was used for Cache or burial goods and was brought in through trade or a long journey afoot. So yes, in some instances they did prefer pretty over the usual. That was true of many tools and necessities besides rock too. Certain bow woods were preferred in some areas and it grew well outside of home ranges. It might not have been because it was pretty, but superior in quality. Also, during the Paleo period, bands of hunters traveled very long distances throughout the year and brought with them tool stone that was sourced hundreds of miles away from where an artifact might be found. It's not unusual for Clovis points made of cherts like Coshocton from Ohio, Burlington from the Midwest, and Knife River from the Dakotas to be found in Tennessee. [/QUOTE]
