Actually never found a stone tool in Florida...FL has no natural deposits of chert or other types of rocks that can be worked into projectiles....there are some stone tools/points found in Fl and when they are it is very significant because it establishes that there was trade with northern peoples where that kind of stone is native. Shell tools were more common , saw some really cool needle like tools for making fish nets out of the center spiral of conch shells, but being that I did mostly shell mound work there was very few...remember it was basically a garbage dump so no native in their right mind would throw away a useful tool.
