thorny vine ID?
Do a search for Smilax. There are many spiny species in the genus.

I've got a newcomer to the yard in at least two locations but I haven't
figured out what it is yet.
It's a vine with lots of little thorns on the stem. The leaves are spade
shaped,smooth edged, alternate, mottled green on the top, solid green
underneath. Up to 3" long, about an 1 1/2" at the base ending in a
point. The older leaves are changing to browning green.
Any ideas?
You might look up Sweetbriar or Cat Briar.
