Has Chris Hardaker commented on these latest finds, Charlie? The flake patterns do not look to be Clovis for sure and that tan one is quite thin. What is the thickness on these latest ones? Are these coming out of the float gravel or did you find them eroding out of the bank? The last one(Aug.14) looks as if it's made of quartzite and more like the stuff I've found up here.

Hi David.

I don't think Chris has seen these latest ones. The one found on August 14th is Edwards Rootbeer that is patinated:

PreClovis Biface- Distal View- 2.25"- Lima B-Igl

It's fairly thick and has basal thinning, sort of like a flute, but not exactly.

The one posted on July 28th appears to have Clovis-like flaking:
