  • Knife blades? Or just preforms or scrapers?

    All we’re found on the Colorado river in La Grange Texas. I find a lot of these and was curious as to why? Were they used for cutting meat, fish, or just any chore that needed a blade? Could they be Paleo?

      Your finding great artifacts but you should be finding more points !
      Wayne Parker( Decendant of Quanna ) and Choice Smith ( Wayne’s life long hunting buddy ) hunted everywhere and in every way ! They explained river hunting to me in a simple term. “ Birds of a feather”
      If you have gravel bars, the size of the gravel mostly determines the size of points to be found in such gravel. Pea gravel , small points,etc.
      I don’t know if you have access to gravel in that river,if so maybe this will help you...They both had massive collections including some VERY interesting Conquistador artifacts ...... JJ

      They look like a bunch of blades and tools for probably various uses. That one in the first pic in the center is a really interesting piece with the little point on the end. That lithic in the second pic with the stripe down the middle is really nice...good finds man...

          Are they worked on both sides or is the other side flat?

            They are all worked on both sides except for the one in the top row middle.

            If worked on both sides I’d say knifes most scrapers are unifaced
