I have a handful of tools made of really high quality Alibates flint from today and one heartbreaker broke corner notch made of the same stuff. I’ll snap some pics in a bit

Here’s the broke corner notch I picked up Saturday. Beautifully made and great material, shame about the impact fracture. Went back at sunup this morning to cover the rest of the creek. Didn’t clean up like Saturday but did find a few things. Flake tool made of Alibates and sharpened all the way around. Broken beauty, likely Paleo. Find of the day was this perfect Harrell. Action shot of my sidekick. .

I think that top one is a hollow point.
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

I have found some hammer heads here, real easy to figure these out. But what do round rocks mean? Some are damn near perfectly round,and the size of a baseball or so, then some are 3 times the size and weight.
I would have got him too but a Dad Blam snow flake hit me in da eye....

Glacial till? Maybe
Unless the context is out of place. Possibly pecking stones or hammerstones. I have some that are round.

I have found really smooth “river rocks”, the egg shaped or oval ones like you find on river beds in campsites and middens. Many Many miles from any riverbed. I always figured they used them for grinders or hammers.

Again, back to the context of where you find there amongst what else are you finding them WITH. the first pic is a pecking stone aka hammerstone- it has impact strikes on it. a lot The other two in the 2nd pic...??? Just round rocks? Wish I could know. Archaic people, I don’t know if they had time for game balls. That would be more Mississippian and Woodland Culture but there are points found from that modern era where we go in our Archaic sites. I call them modern. Lol (anything last 2000 years ish) Most of the finds at our sites are early to mid Archaic, 5-7k before those cultures. We just have a spot with some large order springs that served many different epochs.

Slummy, Is that round like a baseball or a disk like a biscuit?
