I went to a field the other day due to all of the rain we got which is around 6 inches in 4 days. One section I went to cause I have found around 3 tiny points in the past and found the black one rite away. It was a while since I had found anything and started to give up while walking back I took a different route and then found the gray one. It would take a long time to fill a frame with these but a point is a point, rock

Nice! Would those be actual arrowheads?

Those are amazing. Can't believe how good of an eye you (and crj) must have.

I don't know about Rock, but I pick up every little tiny flake I see. When I picked up the little arrowhead I thought it was just another flake, was surprised and happy to see it was a point.

I actually forgot my glasses so every thing I saw I picked it up and was rubbing them to feel for breaks. If no breaks I threw it in the pouch. Im tall so looking down was a challenge for me and it kept raining on and off so it made the flint stand out. These are small Triangles I have found a few each year here and there. Triangles are tough to get a good I.D. but most I would say Hamiltons but the curved one is different so it might be a later point probably Mississippian.

Some points are made on a flake but most points will be worked on both sides as in the pics I provided you can enlarge them if you click 2 times to get a real good look.

Nice finds ... Took skills to work those tiny points so nicely

I was wondering as to what type of flaking tool they could of used to be able to work all sides on something so small?

Yes they are the real deal now I dont know how big the arrow shaft would of been. These date 1500-1000 B.P. believe it or not.

I was told by a knapping friend that they possibly used something like a beaver tooth for very fine flaking. I have no idea, but they were incredibly skilled craftsmen/artists! A wonderful mystery just like a lot of their history.
