    A couple of arrowheads - Any idea?

    I found both of these arrowheads last week at two different locations laying on top in the fields.
    I don't know squat about arrowheads and was hoping to get a bit of info on them.
    Age?
    Type?

    Thanks for looking,
    MM

    Thanks for posting these on artifacts Doug. I've been waiting for this post. I too am curious about the large bifuracate base one. That is a nice find.

    I'll be watching for an ID.

    Left looks Savannah River maybe a hafted scraper. I can't tell if either of these are damaged ? Has the right one been snapped off?

    I agree with RD on the Savanah River/Hafted scraper. The other looks like a broken blade/knife, both Rhyolite.

    Thanks RD.
    I think the smaller one on the right is full, but the larger one I believe has the tip missing.

    The left probably originally had a tip and it was broken the utilized as a scraper. Hard to type the rigtht one since it is so crude. Can we get any more pics of it? Other side or bottom of base.

    RD,
    Here's a few shots of the top, base, and other side of each.
    Thanks,
    MM

    Definate break on that small one. It looks like the bottom half of a Morrow Mountain. It's a new break too.
