Crystal Gem

[southfork]

The site I call Tilly's Hill continues with surprises and variants within types the little crystal point has Gunther type barbs but the stem is like a Rose Spring stemmed or maybe a Rabbit Island . We find a lot of small bird points that look like north west type clusters but out of the known range for the type . I found the drill scrapping a crevice in the hardpan along with a square nail . This camp was cultivated and the top soil is only a few feet so every thing is mixed we have found large numbers of broken points and other artifacts . The age of most of our finds are before first contact so only tools used were bone and stone ? Makes you wonder ?

They're all beauties but that little crystal one is awesome!

Amazing crystal piece!!! What part of the country did you find it?

...or even maybe any Eastgate. The problem with your point is the barbs don't extend beyond the base (Gunther), it's not serrated (Calapooya), and the stem seems rather long for a Rose Springs. I would just chalk it up to a Rose springs/Gunther hybrid. I don't really think most arrowheads actually can be classified beyond "Corner notched", "Side notched", Base notched", "Bifurcated" etc. anyway.

Good mix of points. The clear one is really neat. They sure liked to make them small in that camp!!!

Gunther Cluster points in my area have some different stems some are squared / constricting / slightly expanding lot of them have one short one long barb and a lot of the barbs are even with or close to the same length as the stem .
