Re: 4 BOYD

Thats a lot of interesting observations Boyd, thanks for the interest.

Researching and trying to understand ancient artifacts is of high interest to many collectors ( usually excluding the Ebay form of collecting )..
These stones in the limelight are a good example....A good example of such a small item raising more deep questions.
If we accept Dr H's explanation of their use...then the secondary questions might be:
- How did such a similar tool find it's way from the West Coast to Central TX ??
- The same people ? A simple but effective piece of technology finding its way between different tribes. ?
- Here's my pet peeve against passing on or copying technology...I cant understand why the Kerrville Knives have such an extremely limited oval range in the lower hill country of TX.. They should have been the first Snap On tool of it's age and yet it went nowhere.
- What might the true range of this type of fire rock tool be?

Nuff for now, gotta leave room for other observers
