Im super excited to have found another! But its killing me that i cant get a positive id on them!
The base was recently found, about 15 miles of the two black ones. The base has two flutes on one side, or thinning strikes. All are made out of a basalt material. All are heavily ground super smooth.
Now for there to be this many points of the same type, there has gotton to be a name for these guys.
To be honest, and what im going to call these are Quads, they have every characteristic as the easter Quad, minus the paleo flaking, possibly due to the material used? To me they feel transitional early archaic.
Someone told me awhile back Armijo Cluster, but I have many doubts.
Quads were around many years, so why the hell couldnt they have made thier way this way?
Another possible type is a San Patrice variety or even Dalton Greenbier. Anyone have any input on these let me know, found in SW USA.
Its really driving me crazy :help: :help: :help:

Again, im going Quad, if you have arguments or anything, feel free to express, open book on this one

I cant get over it, i have and have other hunters examples of "San Jose's" from the area , it just does not seem to fit properly..... Seems like there is a Cluster F going on here......... , alot of bi fubs clustered up, Look at the ears from the original examples,and also the hafting area

Sometimes it's easier telling what something isn't, rather than what it is. It doesn't appear to be a Rogers Side Hollow to me. Rogers are the "Brazos fishtail", and one of the (attributed to) San Patty variants that actually occur up here. Rogers are very thin, often fluted, and have a smaller hafting area that has auricles rather than a stem. Yours have far too long of a hafting area for a Brazos / Rogers.

I'm not sure what yours is, but San Jose cluster is still pretty high on my list, from the pics anyways. As for Barreal, they are a small arrow point. Yours appear to be larger darts or knives.

is much longated than the San Jose's pictured .
A few examples may have the ears, but have a dramatic smaller hafting area than the examples pictured.

So we are settling these for the "Dalton" (Hempstead, Hemphill, Greenbrier), setting just labeled as "San Jose"?
Not trying to bust balls or take sides at all...... Sorry i just wanna type them, if we cant , they shall be called "Basin Eared" :icon_thumleft:
