It is just an area that a small draw runs through off of an adjacent creek on my buddy's property. The area was clearcut in 2001 and not replanted so it has just grown up in natural regen that I had pushed back. Nothing that would indicate a good spot for a camp area. Who knows though. Actually I have a picture of the area after it was cleared. See the small white oak directly across from where I made the picture (the one in the cleared area)? The point was in the ground just to the right of that tree where the red mark is.

what a great find. History like that is hard to fathom - especially in the Americas.

That is very cool! Here in Minnesota if you find any bones or artifacts they will call it native burial grounds and it becomes more native land.

In Georgia, trying that would add government guys to the burial ground.

Hate to bust ya'll's bubble but that is definitely not Clovis.Not up on Georgia typology but I would guess its probably late Archaic. It was some early mans equivalent of your Buck knife, not ceremonial or burial by any stretch.

I'll post a pic in a little bit to see what you knowledgeable guys think about a couple of things I've found.

Mind if I share with the guy here that is so big on this stuff to let him know he’s wrong?

Sorry LLC but if someone told you that is Clovis they don't know crap about SE point typology, no matter how big he is on it. Its not even close. I spent about 20 years immersed in this stuff and have several thousand hours in the Florida/Bama dirt looking for them.If he is really confident in his typology and would like to put his money where his mouth is I would be happy to put up say $5,000 on it and pay for an authenticator. You oughta lay off the crack rock there jsaker007 or work on your writing skills because I am totally confused by the double negatives.If there is NO possibility that it COULDN'T have been used by a Native then that logically means it MUST have been used by a Native American.I don't get your point, of course it was used by a Native American.Although there really is not such thing as a Native American, they came from somewhere else per the experts.

Well I guess i'll waste some time responding to you after all. I had deleted my response earlier thinking why bother with this joker. Now it seems like you want to police everyone's comments. You are correct with the double negative(didn't slowly and carefully proof read my post) and I'm very sorry it wasn't acceptable to you. I won't get into an internet pissing match with you but would love to meet you in person. If you are ever in Minnesota feel free to let me know and i'll gladly meet with you. I bet you did have your head in the sand for twenty years----now it's up your ass.

I could care less. It’s cool to me and nobody else that I know has one, be it 8, 800, or 8000 years old. But if I can help somebody learn something I like to let them know. I don’t know the other guy from Adam. He’s a friend of a friend.

My wife just picked this one up in our garden. It's interesting to speculate and try to imagine what things looked like hundreds of years ago when a native was shooting a deer in the area that's now our garden.

Any info about these? I know the big one is very incomplete but a person who is studied might see something...

Awesome finds. Thanks for sharing

 

[Podad]

Good stuff posted here (mostly). Thanks for sharing. Think of what archeologists will find in our landfills.

 

[OkieKubota]

I just have 1 question...back when this stuff was going on did anyone who was Knapping these heads just think “you know...everyone else is making their heads look like this but I want to be a little different”...lol

This is why when I shoot a deer I always leave my casing on the ground. So if the Lord doesn’t come back before then, 8000 years from now somebody will find it and wonder what it was like “back then”

Our dove field will be an interesting find in 8000yrs!

They’ll say, “they must have had a camp here”. I can hear them now. LOLOL

I had a deer lease in Central Texas for a number of years. Once, while bird hunting (I was on a ridge and there was quite a bit of bare ground because it was dry country), I looked down and saw an old cartridge case. Upon examination and researching the headstamp, I learned that it was a government issue 45-70. I’ve always wondered what went on there. Was it a government issue Springfield that fired it or a Winchester in the hands of a hunter ? Something we’ll never know but fun to ponder. I looked around for more casings but never found any.

We also had a bench over by the Colorado River where I found hundreds of flint chips, but no heads. From my limited experience and (lack of) knowledge, it looked to me to have been a camp. That’s the only reason I could see for there being so many chips on the ground at one location. It was a nice little bench on the side of a slope about 150 yards from the river. I looked many times after a rain, but no points were found.
