Georgia lithics

[Kentucky point]

Looking at Chuck's flabbergasted series has kept me entertained the past two weeks. They also gave me an urge to dig around in a pile of random lithic debris. Just kidding on the last part. Anyways, I was going through my collection of flakes from Georgia, and found some colorful examples. I think one is a thumb scraper. One is definitely the broken tip off of a blade. I remember that one. I dug in the sand as far as I could go, but I couldn't find the other piece. Back to the point that I am trying to get at. Does anybody know what material this is?







While we're at it, can we ID the big biface-blade thingie?

This thing too.

2nd one looks like a Fort Ancient triangle. They really took time on their pottery but their points........ most to me they were in a hurry to make them. I find all periods and Mississippian types. I still keep every one I find.

I'll have to work on that first one KP but the second looks to be a Triangle point. What does the cross section look like from the base? Is the base beveled ? What do you think it is?? I really like those flakes you initially posted particularly the pinkish ones - Wonder if they could be Jasper?

Coastal plain chert, Allendale formation Brier Creek variant. The little triangle could be a Hamilton, Madison, but a lot of those are put into the Mississippian arrow point category. The Mississippian points may be a little smaller

I have heard of coastal plain chert. Glad to have a sample from the great state of GA!

When I said about ID'ing the points, I meant the material. Personally, I think the triangle is a pineallas. (I don't think I spelled that right.) I will post the cross section anyway.

Hey Ethan, That's some nice Coastal Plain Chert and Johnny knows.

Mostly heat treated Coastal Plains...... bottom left brick looking material is interesting!

I thought so too, Tom. Looks like some Rhyolite.
