Comments

Clarence Webb first describes Albany Spokeshaves from artifacts found from the Albany Landing Site in Louisiana. Webb described two examples; 1. water smoothed flat pebbles that were side notched and beveled on one edge. 2. Possible reworked projectile points, which were beveled on one edge. Albany Spokeshaves are found at San Patrice sites and thought to be shaft scrapers.
