Afternoon,
FYI.....most points we find...not all, but the majority were made before the native Americans had tribal names, at least as the white man saw it. Tribal affiliations, though being traced to pre-historic or near prehistoric times, are relatively new on the scene. Take for instance in Louisiana were I am from....one of our major tribes was the Caddo. Though the ancestors of the Caddo were probably here for thousands of years, its only recently in history that they were known as "Caddo" or the various breakdowns of Caddo. Newer points such as Alba and Basset, Agee and others are generally known as "Caddo" points because they were made by a named tribal people or direct ancestors.
Thats a round about way to say this....the point you are showing there with the wings is an Evans point. Points that are getting to the age of an Evans arent known so much by tribal affiliation, but rather by time period...ie Archaic, Woodland, Paleo, etc. The Evans point is late archaic to woodland in nature....about 3-4 thousand years old. It would be hard to say that a Caddo or Choctaw made it, though the ancestors of same might have, as they were not known as such back then.....if that makes sense.
Points in general are broken into Cultural Periods.....as shown below:
Paleo......................14-11,000 bp
Late Paleo...............12-10,000 bp
Transitional Paleo.......11-9,000 bp
Early Archaic.............10-7,000 bp
Middle Archaic............7-4,000 bp
Late Archaic..............4-3,000 bp
Woodland...................3-1300 bp
Mississippian...........1300-400 bp
Historic.....................450-170 bp
These are approximations of dates and are from the Overstreets guide, but are generally accepted cultural periods for most of the country...extreme western areas have their own time periods that vary slighty.
Hope this helps
