Arrowheadology rocks,

Hi I'm Lilly and I live in Bandera County, Texas. But don't hold that against me. Amazingly I can hunt at home. This is a old old site that was used for thousands of years. A quarry and a temporary home, I'm guessing in the fall of each year.[due to acorns & nuts] I'm new to posting photos and do hope these come through. First there is a photo showing rock everywhere just in case someone might like to know what a quarry in Central Texas looks like. Then some choppers. Lizzie [Texas spiney lizard] hammed some of the pictures. She about 11 inches long. There are points - surface finds. The youngest are La Jita. The mystery is in the tools.

Everyone thank you so much. Having friends to 'bounce' our treasures, is indeed a gift. A big thank you to the others that work so hard on this site. That said, I realize my photos must improve. Except Lizzie, she loves the lenses. Full sun seems to put glare on the flint. So I tried it in shade yesterday late. Certainly not doing justice to the ancients that worked the flint. I love the 'fit' of tools. Figuring out hand holds and use is such a mystery. This place had a number of renters before it was 'modernized' So the nice surface points were hauled away years ago. This drought has made the entire area a dust bowl. Bad for the land and wildlife but fun for hunting. The deer are turning up more things each night. Can't wait for the first rain that we get! These 100 deg temperatures every day are terrible. Have had 109 and a number of 107 s. Enough..
This entire area is overflowing with worked material. Right here we have at least 4 colors. Then there is the fossil flint. I call it that for lack of a better description. Ocean bottom some 60,000,000 years ago. It is fascinating. The creatures often turn to a gleaming crystal filling. It was obvious that the early people were in amazement too. Over and over I find small squared up fossil flint pieces with smooth as silk working bottom. Rubbing stones? I'll post some of the really neat ones with snails in the top. But for now here is another of the ham [Lizzie] and a tool. Ya'll tell me scraper? Still very sharp. Whoops...no paperclip to add my pictures. Back to the instructions page on how to add them. sorry
