Three authentic, ancien,t Native American artifacts from the Paleo time period, (10,000-8,000 years ago).
There is a dark, lance-shaped point, approximately two and one half inches in length. I would call it a Beaver Lake variant, and it has parallel flaking along a median ridge, which is characteristic of paleo projectiles. The projectile has a slight, impact fracture on the tip and has clear evidence of having been in or near a fire, as black stain fire-streaks can be seen along one upper edge. The evidence leads one to speculate as to how that occurred and you can almost imagine a camp scene with hunters being delighted to retrieve a prized projectile from the fire pit/ barbecue!!!.
The slightly larger projectile is of a Sandia/ Agate Basin variant and is made of a local flint type referred to as Boyle Chert. Several mineral stains are present on the surface of the order stone. The projectile has classic early, basal grounding and flake scars reveal along the base, several attempts of manufacturing a classic flute, a portion of which was achieved along the base of one side.
The third artifact is a classic example of a turtle-back, uniface thumb scraper from the Paleo time period. Made of local Carter Flint, it is beautiful to see and polished to the touch, when held.
All personal finds of the seller, from northeast Kentucky.
