the Paleo Section

 

This the first Florida Paleo I found, November, l978 in Gilchrist Co. I was taken to the site by my friend Paul who has since obtained his revenge a couple of times, but who has not forgotten it! Not coral, but a dark red semi-translucent stone. 3"

Gilchrist Co. FL. At this site Carlos found
the best antler atlatl weight I have ever seen. 5"

Gilchrist Co. FL. Many fine artifacts came from this site, including a huge coral Bolen, a fluted Clovis,
several Paleos and some totally killer Bolens. 4¾".
Found by my friend Ross in Hillsborough Co. FL. Nice ears and good length. Many houses now sit on this site. 4¾".
Another east Hillsborough Co. point. Same material as the two above and from not far away. 3". I didn't find this one.
Found in Gilchrist Co. on a good day, together with the brown Newnan pictured below. 3½".
