I don’t know why pics won’t show. Some of the ore from powars site. I scraped it onto a tub and than spread around on a tractor seat so to show the pigment.

So far from the red ochre here in the midwest-great lakes region.
Your pics show one Clovis point I recognize. A mystery to me where the Clovis people came from and thier eventual disappearance. But they too used red ochre no doubt.
Then leaves me wondering if the ochre use later is by chance , or passed down /shared earlier.
It's use elsewhere in the world early on can be a hint , both for and against a commonality....

You can find red ochre near Wickliffe, KY on the shore of the Miss. River. Gary
