We've all had'em.
I gotta wonder what kindof day this Late Archaic Guilford Guy was having about 5000 years ago?

It doesn't look that bad from that side, but if we turn it over, you can see the Hump.

Now, this type of "Rhyolite" is very common throughout the Piedmont of NC, and it is being true
to it's nature. It works real well from one side in one direction, but coming back the other way
is another story. I would call this,simply, the "Chert-like Silicified Rhyolitic Tuff Stuff."
But here, too, in this specimen we have an opportunity to delve into the Psychology of Archaeology.
Let's go back to what kindof a day this Guilford Man was having, and do you think this artifact
was ever used?
He obviously couldn't get that Hump off.

I mean we are talking about "Primitive" man here but do you think any self-respecting Warrior
is going to show up at the hunt with a spear with a Hump like that on it? Let alone go to the
trouble of hafting it!
Doesn't look like anything but the original work on it, no use wear.

And, yes I do think they had cuss words. About this time I figure he chunked it down near 'bouts
to where I found it...............and went fishin'.
