Yes, found them all in Blount County AL. From what I can best determine some predate our known Cherokee, Creek and Choctaw methods and materials. Have a huge collection of what I am assuming are stone tools. Thanks, and any information you can share will be tremendously appreciated!

Nice Finds!

The Point Tdog circled is a classic gift shop Point sold for about a dollar

Not attempting to dismiss what you said, as you're incredibly knowledgeable, but why can't that just be an expediently made utilized flake? The material seems similar to several other pieces.

Insightful, thank you. I have zero experience with gift shop points so I was just asking a question. It resembles a tool more than a point to me


I just know from experience. There may be a remote chance it was just made on a flake, but most likely it's a gift shop trinket.

Here are some examples. The first set are made Obsidian but you can clearly see the similarities in them. The second picture is fuzzy but actually says gift shop points on the case.

That is the absolute truth. I brought that piece to attention here for that very reason. We learn to recognize these over time.
The one above the circled point as well. That's why I hadn't posted on this thread.
