Nope, your on the right side Shannon but the line goes from the center of notch to about half way up the point almost two inches long. I hated to mention that glue Mike but it's been so long since I've knapped I thought I could slip that in there unnoticed
. I'll tackle a peice of that obs next David - just so many projects going on at one time.

Thanks James, and I hear ya - I been meanin to clean that up
. I don't imagine my shop has near as much neat stuff in it as yours does though
.. I thought ocean spray was for arra's David, never seen one before - guess they get bigger than I thought. Got any pictures? Here's another one (and it aint obs but I just love my rocks
). You'll all be glad to know that it didn't suffer any broken shoulders in the chippin process. I want them notches to go deeper but will have to work on my thining a little - these are just over 3/4".

Exceptional. What region does the Calf Creek point come from, and from what time span? PD

Thanks Alan.
Pete: Andice and Calf Creek's are virtually the same thing. Andice are from the early Archaic period, 8,000 to 5,000 years before present. Calf Creek's are from the same time only from mid to later Archaic - I don't know how they differenciate the two. Andice is present for most of the southern central US, from OK, AR, West La, and most of TX. Calf Creek's stretched into the Northern Central US - MN, WI, IA, IL, and Indiana.
Cool stuff but not all that old

I have a friend who found a Calf creek about the size of the first one you posted. He found it in a creek bed a few years ago. I wish I had a picture to show you. The best I remember it was a darker color, maybe blueish grey. but the cool part was it had what looked like a lightning bolt running diagonally across it. I remember seeing it and was just amazed by it.

Confession is good for the soul. You got it off your chest and then look what you did. Bested yourself. Those are great Paul. I thought I'd get some knapp'n done this week, but never broke out the tools. Bummer.
