found a jar full of Arrowheads in a old Barn we tore down, does anyone know their Origin? This is the most exciting find to date. They dont look like their from Texas. :hello2: IMG_20140519_161048.webpIMG_20140519_161110.webp

I don't have a clue where they're from but would love to have found them. That's a great find.
 
those are some very nice points!!
 
Texas is a big place. Some of those look like central Texas, but some don't. Look to be of different eras. You may be right, but I suspect most are from around here(W,S,SW,Cen. Texas)...
 
Sorry, most look to be reproductions to me. Just my opinion, but I have been making arrowheads and knapping for a long time. They look like the tourist points you could buy from a Stuckey's store back in the day. Most likely made in Mexico. Now many come from India due to cheaper labor. Go figure..
 
try Overstreets Indian Arrowheads identification and price guide
 
Those look like the crude ones often found in eastern Texas. There is/was a arrowhead hunter from the area that was always posting his hunts with his wife on You Tube, and they looked just like yours. Note the petrified wood point. He was always finding those too.
 
I dunno. I've found a few similar ones here in SW Oklahoma
 
I can't say for sure but they are probably fairly local to the barn's location! Many farmers and their kids would find arrowheads while plowing or planting fields, pick them up, stick in their' pocket and when putting the equipment away, drop them in an old jar in the barn or house.

Here's the deal, amigo, not all but many of those point are made off a flake. They show no evidence bifacial thinning or reduction, only edge retouch. There are a few that look better, but would need to see individual photos to be certain. The best part is they really look nice and would make a great display. Congrats.
 
Please forgive me ,but I am not 100% sure what you mean. Do you mean their is no serrated edges? I too have noticed this. I have posted pics of some of them close up. IMG_20140520_233826.webpIMG_20140520_233740.webpIMG_20140520_233747.webp
