Central oregon finds from new years weekend and this past weekend

I havent posted much in awhile, but after christmas came back to central oregon new years and this past weekend to battle the winter weather and hopefully find points. I had some luck on a couple days, and skunked others. New years day I ended up driving around 3 hours south east just hoping to find something not skiffed with snow, and lucked out. Yesterday and the day before were good as I looked around melted patches in some of my old stomping grounds, and its funny how the nasty wind and water still brings em to the surface. Yesterday I found a nice little obsidian cascade blade in some sand in an area that has been hunted for years, and the wind was really whipping the sand, and i picked up a couple brokes, than turned around and spotted a tip stickin straight up, and pulled out a whole one. made my day.

Cool finds. I always have loved that obsidian. Doesn't grow around here. Congrats.

Edit: What kind of bones are those?

the upper left has most of the new years points, there are some ones at the top from this past october though. Also there are some chunks of burned bone in that case. The upper right is all from this past weekend and yesterday, also there is a large beat up maul, and the bottom is pieces of tooth enamel. I enjoy picking out pieces of the bones from blown out middens, as i think its just fascinating that its remnants of their cooking/hunting. But the tooth enamel has me intrigued as to what animal it came from. They are obviously the broken remnants of a large molar. They were from a blown out dune where there was just a pile of camprock, flakes galore. everything you say was either debitage or flecks of the bone.

oh yeah, the upper left new years frame has a dandy rose springs in the bottom right, that point made my new years day, and it still has some red colored hafting mastic stuck in between some flake scars

Appears that those blowouts have been causing some excitement for you. It's all intersting stuff in my book. Look'n good!
