I must be destined to amass the most Clear Forks in history. Can't seem to sneak off and do any surface hunting without one of these monsters rearing their ugly heads. Todays Find.

That ones a beauty, we can easily see the chisel edge.

It's almost letter to Santa time, what about asking for a really big, deep super display frame ( instead of more model train cars )just for CFs.

Make sure it is large enough for future finds

it's the clear fork mecca of Texas! Cool.

Nice example. Better than a poke in the eye.

I'm thinking now that these Indians didn't have time to make those fancy stemmed points because they were too dang busy doing wood working. Only thing I can think of for the use of that many was they must have made shelters out of branches and covered them in hides. Used the old CF to tidy up the branches used for support. Must have looked like a desert went they got through, no trees left.

I found my bag of Clear forks, ( round scrapers thrown in for a bonus )



Each bottom is perfectly flat



They wouldn't stand still for a proper profile !


But I tried (Sarcastic)

# 4 in both pic's has a more rounded cutting bit, that's similar to what I see on most of the biface examples, the Paleo ones. Good showing of woodworking tools there Hal.
The Paleo CF's sometimes look like fat preforms and I used to put them in the preform pile till I started seeing a pattern to their shape.
#4 probably saw more use.

When we were screening the church site Tom C found this monster CF. It is a real jem and quite large for the the type.

That's a real montster. That had to one big Indian to swing that thing. That or one with an overactive imagination. Most of mine are between 3 & 4" with a couple of mini CF's. Probably twig or toothpick cutters.
