i dont know about the blade thing or if its just another rock but it looks worked around the edges

Re: help on these please found at christners ranch last friday

The "rock" may be a celt, but I don't know much about them. The point could be anything, depending on what layer it was found in. So what layer did it come from?

Re: help on these please found at christners ranch last friday

I would call the tool a side scraper- See Hester and Turner. The point looks like a heavily resharpened Castroville ( fine basal edge work- parallel basal notches)

Re: help on these please found at christners ranch last friday

the arrowhead came from the side of a huge wall i dont know what layer it was but i found the scraper by a cave in tree roots. from a tree that fell a while ago. what would they use a scraper for...?

Re: help on these please found at christners ranch last friday

A scraper was used as a cutting tool and for scraping hides as far as I know, I've never seen one that was ground not flaked.

I think I know where that top picture is. . .if so, Then to the right is where Badger found a couple of complete points many months ago. Also, some people have been doing some fairly recent digging.. . . That translates to good finds, just thinly scattered. !

Stones' a good finding story but without definite evidence of being reworked by the hand of man, it's
just a geofactfossil.

Re: help on these please found at christners ranch last friday

you really think that arrowpoint is a castroville?

There might be another possibility ( also prevelent on the Chrisner Estates ).
See ( and read ) Tucks latest posting, , SHORT DIG TODAY. His top points' got a similar flavor to
yours.

Your spot is not the place I thought it was. . .

Now there is a river running through Badgers favorite site
