Dirt Brothers Latest Finds

Some Lake Travis surface finds.
Bob found this one in Spicewood Beach--
He has never seen this type before.
This side of the point is nearly uniface, with 
fine pressure flaking at the edges.

THIS TYPING QUESTION ANSWERED!   MAY  11

Bob: This isn't an unknown type.  
It reflects the variation in the Calf Creek Series, Bell-Calf Creek-Early Barbed (which this looks like)...
or what some are calling Early Split-Stemmed.  Definitely Early Archaic, and unrelated to Pedernales.
