#854--Five Kentucky Creek finds-- heavy patina

From a frame of creek finds I built a decade back--the 'work product' of a very active creek walker who was out almost every day, Webster, Union, and Henderson Counties, Kentucky--my personal favvorite has to be the Motley, the one with the elaborate stem--1&7/8" of Hornstone that's weathered from dark grey to a greenish shade. Two thousand years (or more) rolling along a creekbed will do that, change the color until you have to hunt for any modern chip to find the original coloration. Were these five used, modified, used until lost...yeah, that's how they ended up where they were found. Seriously, though, with nothing more than a deer's bladder to hold water, ancient tribes were really tied to a nearby stream, so daily life revolved around that watersource: bathing, dinner prep, kids playing, etc...if you cleaned game you did it near where you could wash up, human nature. Give a creek ten thousand years of people living beside the water, a LOT of tools got lost--"I'll clean up the (flint) knife tomorrow", well, it rains overnight, in the morning you may (or may not) find the tools that were set aside. Here are five--neat pieces. I welcome checks, cash, or M.O.s, but do NOT use paypal-type seervices--Roy A.
