July Challenge: ARREDONDO and/or HERNANDO
« on: June 25, 2009, 12:35:47 pm »
Cowboy suggested I start this thread :)

Challenge is to make one or both ;D

Scanned these, not great but ya get the idea.

ARREDONDO - Location: Golf Coastal Description: A thick medium to large size point with a short broad blade and a wide concave to bifurcated base which can be thinned. Basal ears are rounded to pointed.

HERNANDO - Location: Georgia, Alabama and Florida Description: A medium to large size, basal notched, triangular point with wide flaring tangs that may extend beyond the base. Side edges are straight to concave.

Thanks Dana! I haven't looked at what these are made of yet but looks like I may need to FINALLY break into some of Eddie's coral ;D. This aught to be a fun challenge.

 A lot of the ones I have found in Florida are made of Translucent coral or heat treated chert, like what Wade stole from Disney. ;) I north fl., you will find them made from Coastal Plains. And I used to find quite a few Hernando's with vry good, serrations. The high$ Arredondo's are thin, and translucent. Overstreet doesn't have many good ones. ;D

I am going to try to make both, but they will probably be out of obsidian. My supply of knappables is getting LOW.
