PNW points purchase

[Twitch]

I picked these up a week or two ago in North Central Washington. There appeared to some local points mixed in with some points from the Carolinas. I grabbed a few of the PNW points.

Even though I’m from Washington originally it’s about the only area in the country I have t found points personally. Any information you guys have on these is appreciated. The resharpener, unhafted lance is heavily ground. I assume it’s basalt as you a the point above it and the triangle towards the right.

I don’t know pnw well but I think it all looks authentic enough, the ground one is probably some kind of paleo, i dont see a flute though so maybe transitional. The others probably other end of the spectrum woodland/Mississippian/historic… hopefully someone else can help with types

that’s what I was thinking as well. Parallel flaking but no flute so probably transitional.

Everything looks authentic to me. That concave point very well be a worked down Clovis. I believe the only concave points like that in the Great Basin are Humbolt, Black Rock and Clovis. I know your a bit out of the basin but most of the Palio I've see from your area is very similar to a bit further south. It definitely isn't a Humbolt and I'm not aware of BR's that far north. Also I've seen many unfluted Concave based points (Deitz Site in OR). Also, Basalt is a very difficult material to knap. Neat point...and I like it Maybe take some better pictures of both sides....that would help out identification better.
