Help on fids

[Gaspipe]

Hi All , new to this forum. I need help on the basics of these points ; age, use, and how they were made. The triangular point is so small and thin I am amazed how it was handled and knapped. They were all found in eastern part of Tennessee. Thanks

Sorry for typo "finds"

Very nice Triangular arrowhead! Someone will be along to give a named type for you.

I have and do find many of these in SE Kansas. Here, they are called Wichita (or Washita) points. Another member on this site says they are preforms. To be notched later.

That's such a nice point I have also found it to be a common find especially around large creeks here in North Georgia.

Very nice points! The triangle looks like to me a Hamilton Triangle
AKA: Woodland Triangular (Whatley)
Late Woodland to Early Mississippian

Thank you that’s what I was looking for . Still wondering how they made these tiny points ??

Pressure flaking, I used to think they were all made by hitting rocks together but a nice sharp antler tine placed right where you want it and to an extent size doesn’t matter
