Bone 1

Recommended Posts

This piece of chert is most likely an example of debitage -- waste flakes -- because of the flaws/inclusions on the edges.  Debitage is common; but, do search for more lithics.  It could be a midden that has been leveled by us late-comers.  There should be a lot of bone and pottery shards in a Florida midden.  The echinoid casts are not part of such an accumulation.
