Peotone: The Collections
The Buchanan Collection
Once again we see a collection containing Paleo artifacts and this time it is from Crete, Illinois rather than Peotone.  Crete lies only about eight to ten miles south of what was once the ancient shores of Lake Chicago.  This makes one wonder just how many Paleo sites exist in this area as the lake, 14,000 years ago, drained southwards.  The small ovate unifaces show nice workmanship and the knife/scraper shown at the top left is typical Paleo.
