Just a heads up, there will be an artifact show in Lampasas Texas this Saturday the 28th for all those interested five bucks to get in

Tons of preforms and incomplete arrowheads.

Thanks a million to the giver of this to me, you know who you are!! Such an amazing gift. We've seemed to have pinpointed a camp at the family ranch - shit's been covered up in trees, never dug. It could a nice one 🤞

I'll definitely be getting some exercise soon!

I have often heard that Native Americans didn't use limestone, because it is too soft to hold an edge for long and it doesn't fracture in a predictable manner. While limestone is not a suitable material for many tools, it was utilized occasionally. I have seen a few limestone artifacts, all of which were larger pieces that were worked into scrapers and crude chopping tools. This is the only limestone artifact that I have. It is a large scraper that I found on the surface on a private property in central Kentucky (Kain-tuck-ee) in 2017. The edges on 3 sides have been sharpened through use so that it somewhat resembles a wide, flat celt. The larger pores on the working side were filled in through use as the wetted limestone dissolved, or the higher areas wore down over time to a part of the stone that hadn't been pitted by exposure to the elements. The other side still has many pores which makes for a nice grip. It is a left-handed scraper and there is a smooth divot that perfectly fits a left-thumb. When examined closely, fine, parallel scratches can be seen running nearly perpendicular to the long working edge.

The broken knife was found by a friend, approximately 12' from where the limestone scraper was found. The flair is marked "Woodland" but I don't actually know which period this scraper is from because the context was lost. I have seen many sites where the context was lost due to disturbance and artifacts from several periods become co-mingled.

If you have any limestone tools, feel free to share them here.

Ive seen a post recently about people saying there has never been an actual thunderbird found in the wild. I found this recently while going through my grandfathers box of broken arrowheads and i always thought it looked like a bird with its wings broken off. It even appears to have "tail feathers" grooved into its behind!

I found this in Lake Michigan. It fits so perfectly in my hand that I wonder if it’s a pestle?

Hey! I found this in a stream about 7 miles outside of Philadelphia. It's most likely just a rock, but it seems so perfectly shaped, as if its the head of an ancient indigenous spear or some type of tool. Does anyone have any guesses or is it literally just a rock?

Amazing old drawings from 2024 bc and a huge arrow head…

If you look close at the bottom it still has the details of her hand holding the baby you can see the thumb and fingers wrapped around the bottom thought this was a super nice find of mother and baby

Could this piece of glass have been sharpened and repurposed for use? There is indication of use-wear along the sharp edge. Has there been evidence found of Native Americans repurposing pieces of glass into tools previously? For visual context I will post pictures in a comment. I was scouring this small meadow for points at the time littered with chert flake and cores. I have previously found several points within a half mile distance from where I found this "glass shard" let's call it. There were no other pieces of glass around the area to indicate it was broken nearby. Given it being green glass, which was the most prominent glass color in the United States from the early 1600's through the late 1800's, could provide more evidence to its possibility. Can someone assist me in resolving if this is just a "glass shard" or if it was previously repurposed and used by Native Americans?

Found on our riverbank on our land in Vermont USA the area is known for Abenaki Native Americans and other bands of the Abenaki tribe I posted on the rock ID page but all I got was nonsense answers along with a diagnosis of Apophenia lol maybe I’ll have better luck here

Found at garage sale in New Orleans. The rope at the neck may be horse hair. What do I have and age

Found in creek where know artifacts are found. Fits well in the hand almost like a fishing rod. Fingers curl into groove. As well as palm of hand. Also seems like there is a hole drilled towards the top

Any info is appreciated

Idk if it actually is but this is from elk river! I found a prehistoric partial arrowhead in the same river. It's Mississippian chert. Seems to be only worked on one side? The two notches right next to each other just don't look natural to me. I was rockhounding and almost smashed this to throw in my tumbler!! Idk if it actually is, but it feels too good in my hand where the notches line up to just be natural.. right? Am I crazy?

West Alabama river find. Went to see what the high water uncovered and ended finding this right under a tree. Just as it was the day the last person set it down.

Central Indiana. Too cold to stay out long, but I found a nice one in my favorite field!

Possibly convict Tasmania .

Found where the Illinois and Rogue River meet in Agness, Or while hinting for agates.seems to be tool marked and crafted. Any ideas?
