Huntsman and Slumlord, why do you imagine you find so much stuff in your area.?
Do you think it's because at one time your area was a prime hunting ground and the natives lost tons of arrows and spears chasing game around your areas?
As easily as you find them and in such quantity, there must be a literal ton of them lying in your neck of the woods...
Your areas must have been a great place to grab a seat and knapp some flint...

dw, My bluff was an old campsite. That's why most of the points I find are busted. They broke them while making them, and replaced the ones broken during hunts. Most points, scrapers and knives you find at kill sites/bluff jumps/burial grounds/hunting areas are in good shape. My area was small tribes and nomadic family groups, so not as many artifacts as in permanent camps and villages......

These are certainly not pristine. The hand axe is really primitive. A collector told me that could mean one of two things. He believes it's pretty old, but that it wasn't finished. Based on my description of where it was found, he believes it was part of a burial cache. The departed is sent off with some tools to use in the afterlife. Depending on how beloved he was, the tools may be well done, or they may be just so-so. Or, it could be the burial was done in haste and there wasn't time to leave really great tools. In any case, the axe part is pretty sharp, and the tool appears pretty robust. No indication that it was chipped to have a handle. The point with the broken tip was found in Texas while wandering about on a ranch I was hunting on. The longer point was discovered by my Daughter while wading in the Meramec river in Missouri.

Don't say turtle 'round here. Looks like a very pretty rock, though. Ever google Kiowa/Deer Trail, Colo.?
