A few brokes, a broken drill, a nice little scraper and a PERFECT bird point

Looks like some nice Alibates.

Oklahoma?

The first picture is a 'heartbreaker', and the last one a wa---deleted---ta?


don't know how to type the word so the center isn't deleted~washeeta~

Yeah, I'm in Oklahoma. The red stuff is alibates, right? I find a fair amount of that material where I hunt. Naturegirl, the place I hunt is on the Wash!ta River so that makes sense Thanks for the looks.

A Wash!ta, and the material looks Alibates to me as well. Small points like that are really cool in my mind. Great find.

Yep, the reddish material is Alibates, and it came from a quarry north of modern day Amarillo, TX. Popular trade item in those days. The point is Wa$hita, from the Plains Village era, about a 1,000 years or so ago. At that time there was a village about every mile or so at one time or another along the tributaries in western Oklahoma. Trade was more established during those times than most people would think, as evidenced by the obsidian points and turquoise we found at the Duncan site near Cordell, OK. 'Bird point' is a misnomer, but we all call it that. These were regular points, and could bring down bison or deer. Check out OU's archaeological survey site and look up Dr. Richard Drass, who has done a ton of research in western Oklahoma. Great finds, and the only thing that makes me homesick for Oklahoma.

You think the knife in your second pic. could be a Harahey or Cody knife?
Nice finds, Hiites . That Alibates flint is beautiful!

 

[naturegirl]

Cody knife would be cool!

As a teenager, I worked on a cattle ranch north of Amarillo. The ranch was covered in Alibates flint. Some of it boulder sized. Some stunningly beautiful, and the points were plentiful.

The first one looks like the base to a Cahokia. IMO.

I've wondered what that one is/was. I'm just not sure. Could be some form of a knife.

I looked that up and I think you may be right!
