Forgot to comment on your great collection of prehistoric arrow and spear heads, Fernando! Also very nice! What history they could tell us if they could speak-

Thank you Captain. They would probably tell us they were lost in huntings ... and battles !

In the early 70's with much time and work found this small collection. The area in Texas, not far from my home is now a large industrial center.

Just wonder...does this really belong in the Miscellania forum?

Let us say it is sort of optional. But we may well consider that these are 'ethnographic arms and armour artifacts' and move the topic to the Ethno section, where further comments will be welcome.

Here's a good source to help in IDing period types/styles found in Tennessee. Styles & periods likely to overlap into other areas as points were widely traded.

More detailed, but harder to search.

Amazing; the similarity between many of them does realy take an expert to figure out the different origins.
