Corner Tang Cache
  |
| I was starting a hole with my back hoe to
pick dig. You always try to look and listen when you are running a
hoe. I heard the bucket scrape a larger rock. I stopped it and got my pick
to see what it was. I scraped a little and saw it was a Metate. To the left
of it where you see the screw driver pointing, there was three of what I
thought to be thin looking blades. I pulled them out one at the time and saw
they were a little unusual shape. The Bottom one to my amazement was a
Corner Tang. As it turned out, there was 2 Corner Tang Blanks and that is
what Dwain Rogers papered the cache as. I think the Tangs were inside the
bowl and the pecan tree roots pulled them to one side. There was also two
Manos under the Metate. I dug these in Burnet County in Central, Texas about
100 yards from the Lampasas River. As you can see, Corner Tangs are not very
deep. In this same spot I have found a good many Corner Tangs and Mid Backs
made on a flake. There was a Buffalo Back Bone with them. Also in this exact
spot I have found occupation all the way down to 12 foot. |
