New Stuff

I see what hes talking about rare indeed, is it for sale

Now that I am sitting in front of a group of them I see that all the others are beveled on the other side.

Is that what you see?

[grovestone]

look up gator scute on those bottom ones.

Roger did you notice anything interestingly rare about that Albany.
Killer Friley and San Patrice.

Looks broke for one thing---also a right hand angle on the curved " shave ' ?

Not broke, has a hairline of black material running through it.

Righthand bevel must be the mentioned rare feature. My Albanys are all lefthand, and my Red River Knives are righthand. Maybe one culture pushed the tool, and the other culture pulled the tool.


On the honeycomb I am sticking with honeycomb after looking at all the images I could find of other stuff. OneOneNiner can weigh in, but I dont think he is finding any other fossils or sea creatures, just petrified wood.

Yes Roger thats it out of all the ones we found last year only one of Marks was made that way, maybe the difference is right and left handed Indians?

[mark adams]

yes right hand bevel is rare, and thats a killer one left or right.

Isn't right or left hand bevel determined by the knapper when it is being resharpened,,,weather it was held tip up or tip down. maybe Knife River will explain this.

By George, you nailed it.

Glad to know what it is. Hate that my COA career only lasted one paper.
