Hello, would love to know any info possible about these that I have found over the past couple of years. I live in central Missouri if that helps. Thank you very much! arrowheads 012.webp

Welcome to the forum and you have found some nice artifacts. Im not from your area but hopefully somebody else will know. Did you find them in the dirt?
 

The top one I found accidentally while metal detecting, the other three I found while farting around in a creek. I have went a number of times over the last few years and I guess I just dont have an eye for finding them. Its a very cool feeling though when you find one and pick it up knowing the history you just found, addicting.
 

Let me start by saying welcome aboard and I'm not from your area either but the large one on the far right if found down where I am would probably be called an Etley... I think where you are it would be called a Kramer.
The top one would be considered a knife.. Or backed blade
 

Preform kirk Snyder etley is my guess but I don't know. I don't really get into the exciting factor of naming points or showing my finds.. That's just my guesses ;)
 

i do not mean to be the word police but the proper term is a arrow or spear head or point because the bow and arrow was not invented in north america till around the missisippian era (500 to 1600 ad) and they all look mid to early archaic (8000 to 5000 bc) I have found a few like the top one which is probably a knife imo
 

Thanks all, I appreciate the info. Before posting a pic and a question I tried to look up what info I could on them, but points seem a lot like mushrooms to me.... when you look them up to identify them they never look just like the pictures of the examples. I would like to be able to learn some info about them and be able to pass it on to someone who may see them in my home rather than "uhhhh, they are sharp pointy rocks that you poke things with". Thanks again
 

Welcome, to Tnet. here is my take on the points you have. Top is a knife non script. To the right could be an Etly, but also could be a large version of the one on the left which would be an Apple Creek, The bottom one also could be a Snyder, but the basil ears do not look right for that type. My guess would be that they are all woodland period points.

Nice finds!!!! Thanks for sharing!
