These are various points we found in a plowed field. They seem to be quartz.

The first are what I believe to be some kind of blades. Most are bi-face and a few are uni-face.

The next group are various points and bases.

The last group seems to be rejects that were only partially completed.

Does anyone know whether these would paleo, archaic, woodland, etc.?

Thanks

Mostly quartz rough preforms knifes or scraping tools. A fast expedient expendable tool.
:thumbsup:
 
Thanks for the feedback. Seems like this old field has been plowed for over 100 years and the only these type objects are left. The good arrowheads have been picked out. I will try the lower fields when the ground dries up more.

It seems like this land that is in my family was a major production site it is loaded with flakes and these preforms.
