Found some great stuff and still can't get over the flaking on this sweet tool (hoe/ spade?). The bottom is smooth in areas from use. Can't really find pictures or a website that shows one close to mine. My internet keeps freezing up so any help with that is appreciated. Found some brokes that wish were all there and a couple of nice points. It was a great day! The hoe is not in its exact spot, it was in the water and saw something questionable and picked up then took a picture.

Man!!!!!
That is an exceptional tool and point. I like tools as much as points sometimes. That’d be a center piece in one of my cases.
Congrats to you

Like Josh said nice Bakers Creek! I would love to go back in time and see how they hatted that how and put it to use. I'm going to be in Franklin all weekend, might try to walk some bars on the Harpeth

That's a cool Artifact! I guess one would call it a core. Amazing how they knocked the top off to get a nice flat surface so they could peel the cortex off like an apple and strike nice big flakes for tools. Thanks for the extra photos!Last edited by Kyflintguy; 12-06-2017, 08:42 PM.

Thanks for explaining and being patient with the new guy. I thought it was pecking on the rounded part so just assumed hammerstone but like you said, "chert". Hammerstones are made of a hard stone.
