I am trying to identify the materials that a few artifacts are made from. They are all from the eastern US.
PHOTOS 1-4 : These three pieces look to be made of the same or very similar material. I'm not saying they are for sure made of the same material, but they may be.
The two scrapers in these photos are the same that I posted photos of a few days ago in another thread only this time I took care to photograph them not in direct sun, against a neutral background, and with my camera's white balance set to zero/neutral also. I feel the colors represented in these photos is accurate. The PPK in these four photos is from the same collection as the scrapers and looks to be of the same of very similar material.
None of theses artifacts are translucent when held to bright light. I would say the have a waxy feel to them.
PHOTOS 5-8 : Another three artifacts that look similar to my untrained eye. The point on there right in photo Home may be different than the other two but it's not too far off.
Anyone have any thoughts on any of these? I am mostly trying to figure out the lithic, but any suggestions on typology would also be helpful.
Thank you for taking the time to look and, as always, this forum has been invaluable as source of information and knowledge. Much appreciated.
