Field and creek finds from an old family collection gathered in Spencer and Perry County, S.W. Indiana. The most "interesting", I guess is the Dovetail at the top of the first photo--it looks like a heat pop out on the base, and the tip was converted into both a hafted scraper and a cornernotched shaft scraper--that's some conversion on a single piece--length is 1&7/8" for scale. The center point is a Buck Creek--also Indiana Hornstone, that lost one side to heavy use (and resharpening)--the reverse shows the Woodland user converted the tip to a secondary use, but it's anyone's guess what. There are a pair of hard-worked Adenas, a couple of Hopewell 'cluster' points and that more narrow blade (2") that's either a hornstone or a type of Jasper that just looks like hornstone (see the cortex on the reverse side--that's more like a river pebble of Jasper, I think). Note the top right corner point that shows considerable heat pop outs---but remains basically intact. That one surviving, that's unusual, hornstone does NOT take well to being heated (it almost explodes due to moisture in the flint). Neat pieces, low priced but 100% real. Shipping is $8.00, checks, cash, or money orders welcomed. Sorry, I do not use paypal-type services--Roy A.
