Those are nice! 7th up from the bottom, olive color seems unique, maybe a spear point?

Every one of those was once a large paleo spear. After many resharpenings they get salvaged as drills.

Those are killers I remember an argument about the larger Drill types being knives ? Haft one of those and gut a fish or small animal maybe .

It is clear to me that large points in paleo times got worked d iui wn while hafted to an atlatl dart shaft. At some point it was too skinny to be thrown but still useful as a drill. Twist that dart into a bow drill string and spin Away.
