While pulling them out of the soil I could feel the chips grinding against other pieces. Using my rock flipping pole I proceeded to dig out around 20 to 30 flakes of various sizes. Some showed some flaking on the edges and some were just plain pieces that weren't worked at all. This piece was the only finished one out of the bunch. The ground was a white clay type but right around where the flakes were it was stained a reddish color. I have always thought it was somebodies cache of flakes in a pouch that dissolved long ago. Some of the flakes were of this same material and various other material. It's the only cache I ever found and I was sure hoping I'd dig up some great stuff but that's life. I always liked this piece because of the flaking.Anderson County, Tennessee

Thanks realistons, Classic Paleo. All of them are worked. If you hunt that site again, keep everything! You might find more worked Paleo. All worth keeping. When I collect a site I start a new box, with a description of the site, along with the Lat. Lon. G.P.S. coordinates for that site. You can't possibly get a better catalog number than a Lat. Lon. I put into that box at least 1 of every type of Lithic. and anything that may better describe the occupation. KimKnowledge is about how and where to find more Knowledge. Snyder County Pa.
