I find a lot of small bone awls. gouges..ect.. there are 2 of my sites I find a lot of these small artifacts. they look like they could be bone projectile points only I would imagine some weight would had to have been added 4 proper flight. does someone have an explanation for these?

I'd have to see better pictures of the tips, but in that picture they just look like small pieces of splintered Bone, but not Points.

I call those "bone pin machines". They made a lot of "bone pins" in my area. Cool, guys!
