Somthe first set of pics is Of the "artifacts" I believe I found on a riverbed in Alberta are these of native origin or am I trippin(not uncommoDn): http://m1213.photobucket.com/albumview/albums/Atb55555/Snapbucket/025191FA.jpg.html?o=3&newest=1 This is what I think is a spearhead with tip broke off ... Simply bc of size/shape/and the difference of surrounding rocks...And another w/ zippo for size http://m1213.photobucket.com/albumview/albums/Atb55555/Snapbucket/887D6442.jpg.html?o=2&newest=1
And the nExt is what I believe to be the handle of some tool given the curves that contour perfectly into hand and carvings (which should be visible in pics) of arrows? They are almost flawless nicks that seem to make a point or arrow ? Maybe showing which way handle is held bc it does , in fact fit into hand best in exact way arrows point. But I could b trippin again...I'm no anthrOpologist

What y'all think?

Spearheads are usually carved in a way that makes it easier to haft onto a pole, like notches on the sides etc.
when i go rock hunting i usually find a sharp rock that would naturally make a good spear or axe.
i have found rocks that are literally perfectly shaped and sharp in the right spot to be an axe that just happened to be like that naturally.

those are not artifacts(at least not to my eyes). the top one looks to be a form of feldspar, which has a cleavage rather than conchoidal fracture. the bottom one looks to be some sort of stream tumbled agate which does have conchoidal fracture, but no flaking is visible. i'll post some of my crude artifacts and some of my nicer ones later once i get around to it.
