The plow might have gotten into the top of a cache pit, that's about the only reason I see for two artifacts like that to be so close together in a field.

I have learned so much from your finds! I never knew the Indians used bone for points--I guess it would only make sense to use bone(since there was an abundance of it).
You have a wonderful site and I can't wait to log on everyday and see what you've found!
Excellent photography, Mr. Larson!!

Awesome finds larson. You didn't even find a point and I think that's one of the better hunts I have seen you post. Those 2 Arrowpoints are really nice. The closest thing we have to that here is a Deer Antler Arrowpoint that will have one small "tang" or "knob" that sticks up on one side of the base end. Sometimes it will be drilled in that protrusion. I noticed the difference in the shapes when you first posted them. I'm still amazed at the amount of Bone artifacts you find. We find quite a bit here but some of your hunts produce more than we'll find in a month.

Unusual finds, are they bone spearheads?
I wonder if they are dolly pegs..

Steve you ever found any others like that?

Molly.

 

[larson1951]

[jaron3]

All I can say is WOW.

 

[shorelinesearcher]

Green with envy is all I can say. Very nice, what period do these date to?

Those bone points look allot like harpoon heads from the Eastern Arctic Dorset culture. Those maybe the neatest bone finds I have ever seen.

 

[larson1951]

thanks buck
i don't think they were ever used which is kinda cool in another respect

i don't know how to date them

[larson1951]
