That's super nice !:thumbsup:
 

Beautiful point, Steve. You have found many outstanding bone artifacts. Always enjoy seeing them.
 

I've never seen so many "engraved" finds Larson, all of them that you've shown are truly amazing & beautiful.:icon_thumleft:
 

That is a very nice one Steve. All of yours are really nice. We don't find the "V" shaped ones like yours. Ours are all the drilled out Antler Tips.
 

Nice points don't think I have ever seen any like those before. So do you find the tools they used to engrave the bone and if so can you post some Id like to see them. :icon_thumleft:
 

Very Nice Example! :thumbsup:
 

Very nice.
Nothing like that here either..socketed or pins here.

i don't know what was used for that..............maybe just a scraper with graver spurs?
 

Here are some southern New England examples, Steve. The ones with basal projections are a little remindful of yours and are hollowed out like the socketed examples....

Nice! Those look like antler tine
 

I guess I can show some of mine too. The first 7 photos show some of my better ones, The third picture is one that has a drill broken off inside of it. You can see the diamond shape down in the hole.

The last 8 pictures are of a really special piece a buddy of mine found. This is a piece of diseased Deer Antler that has a knot that formed by the tip. It was hollowed out, has two holes drilled in it that were meant to be eyes, and a mouth carved into the tip. It also has very faint eyes and feathers etched on the sides. We think it represents a Goose. Not sure if was actually used as an Arrowpoint though. More than likely a Pendant.
