That's a real nice'un, Tim, and good flake pattern. I like that point style, looks almost like an Eden with notches.

Good thing about these points is they are usually heavy made,strong median ridge with the flakes running up on it, which helps out when ya got some rock with length to it.

Thanks for the high fives.:)

What period are those points from? They seem to fit in with that whole Eden/Scottsbluff/Cody thang.

Early archaic I believe? The dates I have are 7050-6050 BC.

     Man Timo, that is sweet.  :o While the others on here would have made two to three out of it, I would most likely have made on micro point, if that. ;D  That is a fine blade! 8)

Very nice.  No doubt I would have ended up with three bird points.

Paul, you finally decide to put that chicken in a coup instead of riding around in the back of the truck?  ;D
