That is very interesting.  I see so little about Asian knapping.  Do you know time frames?

Also Google, stone arrowheads in Japan and look at how similar they are to the ones here.

Wow. those are some interesting points. Mongol history is totally amazing
on it own. I would have expected awesome stuff from their knappers.
Not sure if these are all abo? Do you know beartail?

yea bone,your right.not a notched point to be found.must have traded time from notching to do those tips.

Now that you point it out, those tips are different. If you look at the second picture from the first link that shows a close-up of the tips, it almost looks like each side of the tip stops with a slight step. How the heck does one go about creating a tip like this?

[JackCrafty]

The tips are burinated.  There's a good discussion on making these over on PaleoPlanet:
