Arrowhead information
« on: April 04, 2019, 06:25:55 pm »
A friend of mine gave me 5 placks with several hundred arrowheads his grandparents found on there property in Central Oregon. I removed them from the frame place in new frames I’m going to build and I have been trying to get as much information as I can about them. I had a friend of mine take a look at them as he’s an avid knapper and is one of the local NW Ishi experts. He could not identify this artifact and he said it looked out of place for Central Oregon. Can anyone here maybe give an origin to this piece, or any information.  I am very curious.

It is possible that was a late trade between collectors, or a supply chain item that just kept moving?  I don't know enough to comment further than that!  Nice point!

Up close it looks like chert, something we don’t have around here in any great quantity, if any at all. I was told it look like something from the Midwest or east, but that all he knew.

Bob, I think your $.02 is worth a lot more than $.02 from that description.   :OK
