IT'S TINY!

Found in the Columbia Basin in Eastern Oregon. I figured Columbia Plateau (500-200 BP). Love it! So lucky to notice it in the dust.

Lots of obsidian out your way. I'll take a stab and say it's a Rose Springs variant arrow point (1500-700 BP). Good find.

I thought Rose Springs too, but the region just doesn't quite fit to my area. Here it is overlaid on Columbia Plateau, what do you think?

Thanks so much! So lucky!

Nice find. You're probably correct calling it Columbia Plateau since you are near that type site but if it was found just a bit further south in central OR I'd call it a Rose Springs. More of slight regional differences........splitters vs lumpers

I thought it may be an outlier.

The obsidian can be sourced - there's sure to be a record of all local types. There is a huge span of time for some , with others more reliable.......so much for materials
Next, is typologies, which is the subject of your question - period of time created/crafted, right?
Local collectors would have that - they keep up on what science reports on that kind of stuff.

 

[OH..POPS]

Such a small point that I had to reach over and still grab my glasses to see it in your pic. Great find indeed !

While not quite as tiny, this little one was found about 50 yards away. This is the only photo I have of it at the moment. Eastgate Split Stem maybe?

wow thats tiny. I had to put a dime on my phone screen for scale just to see how small it was. still looking for my first point. not an artifact hunter.
