[Older The Better]

It may have already been done but let’s see some of your paleo points... unfortunately I haven’t found one yet to kick things off.

These are what are called a type C Windust. I find all three types around here,C's seem to be dominant. Sorry no scale,largest is just over 4".
All my finds are personal or family.

[Charl]

Thanks Charl for informative post with great pics. I think I remember that story in IAM.

Yeah, Gary was shown on the cover, in the square, and the piece still in-situ if my memory serves....

 

[Charl]

Charl that’s a great idea putting drawings in with the points gives the broken ones more pop

All the drawings were by the late illustrator Val Waldorf. She was one of the best....

Re-based paleo from North Dakota.

I think these are Dalton-Hardaway points, found in the same area of urban northern NJ. I've found plenty of arrowheads in my time, but never any here. So this was totally exciting.

These are usually interpreted as an Eastern correlate to Agate Basin. Cumberland, RI. Quartzite. If and when they are found in a dated context, they will receive a formal regional type name.

Here are the Ohio/Indiana equivalents of what Charl references. Some of them are nearly identical to Agate Basin material, some are Cody like, some are Angostura like, and some are probably younger. (There are a couple of oddball points that don’t belong in these frames, but are there because I haven’t put them somewhere else...

 

[joshuaream]

A couple more pictures.

Sadly only one personal find between these two frames. I’ve got a bunch of bases, but haven’t been lucky on finding this type.

Great group of points. Makes it easier to compare different aspects.
In your bottom pic of first post on top row, is that a Dalton with stripes on its ears?

I call it a Holland, but without the shoulders it would be fit better within the Dalton cluster.

This is a Stringtown Lance transional Paleo. It is from Franklin County Oh. Made of nice FlintRidge material.
This was named by Ernie Good who was a well known advocational arch. who did an extensive dig at a site on Stringtown Rd in Grove City, Oh. I lived in Grove City & got to meet Ernie. He had the most amazing private collection I have ever seen. He passed decades ago & I have no idea what happened to his collection. I'm sure it was purchased by a serious collector. He donated a lot of items to the Ohio Historical Museum in Columbus and has a plaque in the artifacts area recognizing his contributions to the local archeology.

Awesome history I didn't know!

Here is a little something from the very south of the allowable countries in this section of the forum. I bought this point from a collection of Mayan items from the Yucatán area of Mexico. The obsidian came from a source in Northern Mexico.

Unnamed, but probably a post Clovis thing about the same age as Plainview. Just a guess.
