points found recently

small paleo point
plainview
dalton type
red river knife
multi fluted point

Re: points found recently

found these points recently on sand hill camps all within a 400 yd area! A small paleo, a perfect but small plainview, a dalton type, and a multi fluted concave based point that baffles me! one ear is broke but the flutes are gorgeous! I found alot of paleo bases and broke heartbreakers and i think this was a paleo point picked up and reworked by early archaic or something! I almost forgot about the red river knife i was pretty pumped up about that one! opinions would be great on these points, i am metal fabbing a screen as we speak for this sand because dozer holes are already there, all i have to do is scape sand and sift! I can't wait for that sifter,no tellin whats on these hills!

Re: points found recently

Good show [ and report ] Since those are surface finds, the mind does boggle what lies below !
Since consentrations of near paleo artifacts are so rare, may I suggest you have a seperate bucket for EVERY "artifact" found while screening. That means flakes and bone fragments [ Camel, sloth, mammoth ?? ]

Happy screening !

Re: points found recently

Great paleo location that you've found & a very nice squadron of examples to show for your efforts. Sifting sand sands with great results sounds a lot eaiser than digging in compacted dried out gumbo in Central Texas any ol' day.

Re: points found recently

SH good idea on keeping everything organized while sifting! I have only been surface hunting, but these camps are primetime, so to the sifter it is! I am very excited because by friends grandfather has found a folsom, clovis, and a simpson only a mile from here! His collection is the best i have ever seen! The sifter will be 40 inches across and 24 inches wide, scape the sand off these old dozer banks and sift the material, i think it will work! You cant dig it, so i figured this is the only way to do it! I have also found a butchering site with 8 impact fracture points, 2 big beautiful choppers, a 5 in. black chert trinangular blade, a some awsome scrapers!
