Howdy folks, Was up fooling around at the flint quarry again this afternoon and found a couple of larger percussion flaked trade blades. This seems to be what they were manufacturing at this site as I've found zero projectile points so far, not even a broken one. Piles and piles of spalls and flakes all over the place though with various stages of patina from age so this flint gathering site must have been used for a good long time. My wife, of course, claimed these for her cactus garden. Anyway, here are a couple of pics. Better shot of the massive example:

That is really cool that you got this place, nice that someone knowledgeable and appreciative of the cultures gets to collect these artifacts.
