Find of the Week
Haden just found this small chalcedony point while sorting shell midden from Aniakchak. We’ve found a couple dozen of these tiny points and hardly any larger bifaces giving the Aniakchak chipped stone assemblage a very different look compared to our Unimak and King Salmon materials.
Different how?
Unimak points look somewhat similar in style, but are much larger in size (and virtually all made out of basalt). The King Salmon points include some tiny ones like those at Aniakchak, but seem to have a lot more styles. I would love to have someone analyze the points from King Salmon and Aniakchak to see if we could better document these stylistic patterns.
