Found a Bird Point!

[CarsonRReese]

This is by far the smallest point I have found to date. I would assume everyone would call it a bird point of sorts. It is about the size of my thumbnail and in perfect condition. Any idea on era? Found in North Central Indiana

Thanks unclemac, guess I've never seen a glove like that

easy for me as i have had a lot of fingers pointed at me...so to speak...

What can I say, to be honest I didn't know that that was a finger in a glove, I wasn't sure what the piece was laying on. Only that it was laying on something with a strange surface. You're welcome to have a laugh on me!

You're a good sport, Mark. Once I went back and looked at the picture of the gnarly gloved appendage, I could sorta see how one could misinterpret the picture. Happy Thanksgiving!

Cute little point

Very nice Bird point, they are Always my favorite find around here, most are quartz or Obsidian and some with Fantastic craftmanship or craft ladyship as I am told the females made most of the arrowheads traditionally in the PNW.

I've never heard that one before...

Bow and arrow has been around for about 1100-1400 years, so if it's older than that it's an atlatl dart point. They still used atlatls when the Spanish arrived in the 1500's, though not as frequently as the bow.

I dont know the time era, but that is one tiny little beauty !

Likely arrow it looks woodland period by then they used smaller points so that they could fire farther these smaller points would often do more damage to Buffalo deer or whatever they were hunting because of the force of such a small point impacting so hard
