Does anybody know why #1 has a red dot?
I was told by an archaeologist that #2 is possibly a point to hunt for squirrels.
#3 is a micro blade. #4 is Hopi Indian pottery shards from Arizona. The rest are various finds on the Fraser river in B C Canada.

I would think it would be easier to keep using your arrow points to get your squirrel supper,sharp little tip would dig right in. Did they give their thoughts on using a blunt stone to get squirrels?

Wouldn't lose arrow in tree if missed. We use blunt tips now for the same reason. They kill nice.

The ground and polished piece looks like something that was going to be an ornamental piece, rather then a weapon designed for squirrel hunting. Since you would only have to grind and polish the tip, after all. How was it hafted? I certainly don't know everything, but I have never heard that suggestion before. I honestly don't believe that archaeologist, lol. I doubt they use one small arrow point for rabbits, for instance, and switch to a ground and polished point for squirrels. But, what do I know I guess....
