Sorry for just now responding Steve. I sent you a text a bit ago....been way out in the hills outside of Leakey digging points myself. I didn't find that g-10 blade I was after but found plenty of artifacts that made it home with me. I will try to get a few pics up when I can.
The variety continues to show itself on your camp. I love that ango and beautiful flint it is made out of. I've got one that looks very similar to that one that I dug out in Real County. I think a page or two back you have that sweet little paleo piece...a Dalton perhaps? That is what my son called it within 1 second after seeing it.
Lovin it man and can't wait to see what you kick up next!

Glad you did good Johnny, post up some pics for us! I took these pics last Saturday as Steve was covering up the "well." Somebody wanted to see an arrowhead as it was caught off the screen with mud on it, so I braved the bouncing dirt and took pics of a live one, lol. Pics will give a little more size perspective than most of the earlier site pics:
Possumwalk supervising the operation:
Feeding the shaker:
Down the hill is where the well was, Steve has just covered it up so he can drive over it:
"Live" arrowhead. Muddy side is where it was resting against the clay:
Cleaner side:
Downhill to the current dig area:

When you get a little sleep, Look a couple pages back at the big blade. It was found near the spring and the other Scotts Bluffs, It has been preliminarily called a Scotts bluff blade because of the flaking and over all shape.
Also that paleo point(I posted several) you speak of, I think is a Golondrina that has been resharpened a lot. It does have the Dalton profile and may be one but if you put it with all the Golondrins bases i have found up there it fits perfectly.
Gotta go dig now......Last edited by GarGuy; 08-23-2012, 06:12 AM.
