Bone and Flint Camp Debris from A Texas Coastal Shell Midden
Bone and Flint Camp Debris from A Texas Coastal Shell Midden
This is a handful of discarded or lost items from a Rangia shell midden from a bayou in Galveston County, Texas.
Basically resource poor as far as knappable stone is concerned, these prehistoric people made due with sharpened bone, and used every piece of chert until it was exhausted or lost.
Much of this accumulation was found in the anaerobic mud beneath the Rangia Cam Shell. That is how some of the bone can be preserved. Sharpened bone and gar scales were commonly used for fishing tips on arrows. Chert and flint being hard to come by, was usually saved for terrestrial game and such as deer, and protection against enemies.
