Avonlea UPDATED

[bean man]

Is the one on the left. I guess it was the first true arrowhead to appear in Iowa. The one on the right, believe it or not, is a broken point. But is it a Folsom? I don't know. These were found in some of our usual spots, by #3 son yesterday.

Neat points you have there! I'm not sure if it's a Folsom or not, but can you post a pic. of the other side?

Re: Avonlea: Updated

Thanks BA. I will post a picture of the other side. I have to wait for my photographer. Our camera isn't very good. OK, maybe it's me.




Heres those pictures Andy, I know it looks pretty rough.

Nope. It has no signs of flake removal or modification at all.

That piece on the left sure is nice.Where does it fall in age?

 

[bean man]

One of the first true arrowheads in Iowa, around 1600 years ago. Thanks!

Hey Beanman,

The point on the left is a nice one, but appears to me to be paleo in nature. Cant be certain not collecting from that area, but if found here I would call it late paleo or early archaic. Quite a bit older than 1600 years and very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Shoot, you could be right Atlantis. I'm just going by what I think my Iowa book is showing me. I certainly could be wrong.

Plebah, That thing on the right, really makes me scratch my head. I don't know what to think about that dumb thing.
