Hopewell Artfacts

[Whippoorwill]

Today’s finds turned up two Lamellar’s, a Copena bottom and either a very interesting rock or something worked, I will let you decide.

At first look it looks like nothing but looking further there is some nice artifacts there, not sure about brown thing

I would say worked as well. Seems like the Hopewell liked using hornstone. I find a lot of partially worked pieces like these. I don't usually post them because at first glance they could be mistaken for creek wear, and don't want to have to defend my assumption but if you see enough natural hornstone you realize the difference between a casual worked piece and a natural one. Nice finds.

The brown one is probably a fossil of some kind but looks like a monkey head 😁 nice finds

Pretty sweet! I love that flake knife thingie.

Something for scale would help, artifacts except the round stone.

Lamellar blade with point is 3”

Have been reading very smart apparently deceased(?) Painshill’s posts, and saw one in 2013 referencing “Weaubleau” eggs/Missouri rock balls. (This from Kentucky? And Kentucky’s next to Missouri, right?). It seems Painshill also very esteemed member of fossils forum, where discussed similar object and considered possible concretion (also 2013).

He was absolutely brilliant, and this new member sorely regrets not having had opportunity to cross-examine him!
