Recent Finds 2003 May 25th |

The weather on Memorial Day
weekend was much better than expected and artifact hunting was very
productive. At top left, is a Lamoka
point. A small celt (at left) lays
exposed. Above is a very nice Hopewell
point. All were surface collected in
Monroe County, New York. |

Here’s my six year old son,
Austin, with his very first find— a really
nice, complete Lamoka
point. I hope that he will continue to
enjoy the hobby as much as I have. |

The two in-situ images above
are of the same point. It’s really
exciting when you come upon a tip or a base protruding from the soil. Sometimes the artifacts are broken, and on
occasion you get lucky and recover a complete projectile point, as seen above
at right. At right is a quartzite cobble
that was used as a muller. Both faces
have been flattened and smoothed by use-wear. |
