Heartbreak city

this big williams just plopped out and fell into my lap.

this little c-tang, my first, was the last find of the day, i was very excited until i realized it was a fresh break from digging the test hole. it has the tang in the corner, a curved front edge and straight back, so im pretty sure that it is a corner tang. we are hand gigging and then sifting the throw so i might find the rest.

Re: Heartbreak city

Tucker,

Don’t know if it helps, but the piece you are calling a CT was probably not a finished piece. Although it is hard to see much detail in the picture, it appears only initial shaping percussion scars and it still has a lot of cortex in middle of the blade that is normally removed before finishing. The piece was probably abandoned sometime during the manufacturing process.

Re: Heartbreak city

An abandoned CT shows the guy had CT's on his mind. If that piece of flint didnt work out he must have made a better one later.
Keep looking [ maybe with a rubber tipped tool ! ]

Same mentality on the Williams. . . That familiy had an affinity to l o n g ponts so there's probably more.
Good going [ except the CT bust ]

Re: Heartbreak city

Dug yesterday in ct bust spot, and found no broke pieces. I guess I just nicked an already broke piece. I know I didn't miss anything because we sift all of our throw dirt no matter what. Had one of the best dig days I ever had, a couple of really great points and my first gorget piece.
