Those are really cool! Hope it is okay to show this one?




I also found one similar to the ones in your third photo, but I gave it to a friend. It was approximately two inches square and an inch high.

Dennis that is nice one. Please show any and all that you have, anytime, anything. I look forward to you comments. Northern High Plains covers a big area.

In the central and northern Great Plains region Late Prehistoric arrow shaft abraders were often made in matched pairs.

The two I have in the one pic? were found together on the same day. 1 was broken and glued.

Cool finds Fat
I guess there would be some for arrows and some for spears depending on size?
Are those peyote buttons in the pictures. It has been 40 plus yrs since I was around the buttons can't really remember what they looked like.
We baked them into little balls and made a dip out of some. I tried them that day and didn't think anything about them. Got home got violently sick and then WOW. The only time I tried them, I became a friend of the barbiturates after that. All in my past just happy to be here to remember. Sorry I digressed.

They very well could have been used as a pair. How wide is the groove on those?

From your image they appear to be wider than the width of an average arrow shaft. If wider than arrow shaft width then your pair may be dart shaft abraders.

Good eye 11KBP. They were found in a cache of scrapers, preforms, a couple drill/awls. Several broke Cody complex bases. I’m sure there were pre bow and arrow.

11KBP. I’ve meet you in person a few times the first time was about 1980 in the SPR by Big Spring Nebraska. I used to take one of my grandmas cars and drive the 25 miles or a mini-bike or about anything that would start. You and another guy were looking at some collections from that area and later in the day we met and talked in the river I was 12-14 y.o.

Trying to retrieve an event from my memory banks that occurred 41 years ago is probably not going to happen, especially when I can’t remember what I had for breakfast this morning, lol. Did you ever attend the Stone Age Fair?

LAS stonage fair is the other place we have talked. I haven’t missed in 12-15 years, back than I didn’t ever go. In those days I told my folks was going to camp at lake Mac. and went to sturgis bike rally instead.
