Recent Finds 2003 June 22nd |

The high point of this hunt
was the recovery of a complete celt (pictured above, bottom left) that was
only barely visible. Ground stone
seemed to be the theme of the day as three other fragmentary tools were
recovered including the bit end of a beveled adze (above, bottom right). A very classic, complete Lamoka point ( top
row, 4th from left) was the capstone of a productive day in the fields. All of these finds were surface collected
from disturbed sites subject to agriculture in Monroe County, New York. |

The two images above are of
the complete Lamoka point (in-situ), and the complete celt just after it was
released from the soil. Use the

included in these in-situ images: |

Note the point tip in-situ at
right– its color was a very close match to the surrounding soil, making it
very difficult to see. It turned out
to be a complete point (top row, 3rd from left). In sum, over 20 artifacts were collected on
this outing, the more diagnostic finds are pictured here. Thanks for visiting Creekside Artifacts! |
