My mom gave me these points that were my grandfathers (who passed away a few years ago). She knew I would appreciate them. Not sure where he found them, but he did grow up on the Utah/Arizona border. I figure he picked these up there when he was a kid. Any ideas on the typology? 7E9DFE38-5BA8-4D64-8745-53D60B0F7191.jpegADE908FF-AFBB-4DAC-8296-684244C6CE32.jpegADE908FF-AFBB-4DAC-8296-684244C6CE32.jpegBC6DFA8C-69D8-4673-AD7D-23B8739BAC6A.jpegEDA790C9-A7B5-4885-87CC-2599067C2984.jpegFF61AD68-7BA6-47B2-B0CA-5200391E4E2A.jpegC816C135-4C04-4FE1-93AF-4B61A90B53B5.jpeg

I can't tell real well from the photos. Does the larger has a rhomboid cross section?

It appears to me to be maybe have a beveled edge. I think it would be an archaic knife.

The smaller triangular point a later period point. Possibly a true arrowhead versus a perforator or could have been used as a drill tip of a bow drill. Hard to say from the images.
