Hermann, MO and Swiss, MO

[nickcoin]

Hi all. I posted a couple of years ago and got great help and suggestions so I thought I would post again. Hermann and Swiss, MO are about 20 miles apart with Hermann being on the MO river. And yes, very flooded a couple of days

ago. Anyway, the first arrowhead was found in a very large outcropping in a fire pit. No digging, just poking around with a stick. Can anyone give me insight to its age/type.

A few pieces were found at the same site. Tons of flint and more specific, mozarkite. The other bite were found over the years in our fields.

A few are questionable and may be imposters, but most of them, I feel, are genuine. Can anyone talk about the chips and the three converging lines? Are they natural cleaving lines? I think there is a core from the outcrop and a couple of scrapers?

I'm sorry if it's too many photos.

Any information on these artifacts will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again. Scott

Thanks!

You have some good finds, it does look like you have some spalls from the outcropping and maybe a hand axe. The point could be a Ricelobed point from the Archaic period of 9,500-8'500 B.P. That is some fine looking flint Thanks for posting.
