Hi HB. Nice finds for sure. Somewhat different with so much of the cortex/rind remaining on the original chert cobble. No way to tell whether the same man or woman made it.but they do look like they came from the same tool kit for sure. Next time you post pics you need to place something along side it so we can know something about its size. I always suggest a quarter because they are one inch in diameter and they are easier to carry than putting a ruler in your pocket. Looks like they are scrapers or small oval knives.

I'd like to see the points dry after you cleaned them. I have found tools with Cortex still attached but those are pretty unique as in they dont appear to have been repurposed but rather they were made that way from the start. Are these dig from a rock shelter environment? Interesting finds! Thanks for sharing!Josh (Ky/Tn collector)

How big are these? When I look at chipped stone artifacts and notice things a color variation along the peripheral edges and notches on things that just don't look right, I become puzzled. I ask myself why have I picked up and handled ponts and artifacts from all over the US ( not trying to boast here but easily tens of thousands in my fifty + years of collecting) and never seen anything like these? It definitely piques my curiosity. Would you consider sending these to me for a UV and Microscopic evaluation? Neither would harm your artifacts in any way. It is just a very detailed close up study of the surface of the artifact.TN formerly CT Visit our store http://stores.arrowheads.com/store.p...m-Trading-Post
