My family and I took a ten day vacation to Colorado and I just got home. Let me start off by saying wow what a beautiful place with so much diversity. The folks we stayed with kept us hopping with no slack time, it was go, go, go and it was great! They didn't hunt points and with a lil talking and showing my excitement about it they were eager to do a lil looking. They were able to line is up with some of the other locals and found us a place to look. We were staying in the mountains in sagauche county. May have misspelled the county , not sure. I am not sure if we were in that county when we were looking but were close. Anyway, we found a site that was covered in an amazing array of materials. I found lots of obsidian flakes and was hoping for an obsidian point but I am super happy with my finds. I am clueless on the white point missing tip and base, the pink quartz piece I "believe" is a hanna, and the lil mottled brown point has me puzzled. It has all the characteristics of a Midwestern paleo point. It is missing a tiny bit of the base "about an eighth of an inch or less of the basal ear", it is heavily ground, and had an impact fractured tip that barely runs down both faces. It isnt thin and meaty like a clovis. Any input would be appreciated.

Nice finds the first one your correct it is a Hanna the white midsection from what I can tell looks like a Pelican Lake but with out a complete base it's only speculation the brown artifact my first thought was Duncan just because of the Hanna and a McKean siteLast edited by chase; 08-06-2017, 02:16 PM.Look to the ground for it holds the past!
