I like triangles but just dont find many nice ones here. Thats a nice frame
 

I like the triangle points and you have a bunch of nice ones. Thanks for showing
 

I have many more and will share them in the future.
 

Nice looking tray. Those are the most common Point type in my area and I have sites where you can find them all day long. I have one site that I have found 2000+ Triangles on.

Same in Iowa. I have hunted sites that have yielded 175-200 of these per day...after every hard rain.
 

I know triangles are common- I've found many myself. The ones we typically find out here are Woodland, but I know that some have been proposed as dated later- into the Archaic. Do you have some way of knowing what age group yours fall into? And thanks for showing- look forward to seeing more! Yakker

Every triangle point that I have are from well documented Oneota Culture sites, which fall into the Mississippian Period. My area has a lot of Woodland and Archaic sites but I have never found triangles on them. The Oneota lived in large groups in my area and there are several sites that I have permission to hunt that are 80 acre fields. Artifacts can be found throughout the entire field!

I should have looked up Oneota Culture before asking. Thanks for that! Yak

No problem Yakker...Where are you from if you dont mind me asking? Sounds like you may have heard of the Oneota?
