All of the larger points were probably fitted to lances, atlatls, or hafted as knives. So I guess, men, deer, elk, buffalo, turkeys or whatever they hunted with the bow. All theory of course since none of us were there and they did write anything down.

Looks kind of neat with a flashlight showing through it. Any insights on age or materials?

rockinbbar Campfire Kahuna Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 69,599 Not In The City	Originally Posted by ruffcutt So what was the purpose of these tiny points? I’ve always heard them referred to as bird points. I would think a blunt would have been sufficient for small game instead of knapping points. They used them as arrowheads. Anything they killed with a bow and arrow. Bison, deer, elk, men... etc. The "arrowhead" was a small point like that. The bigger points were dart points, and used not with a bow, but an atlatl... A spear thrower. Those size points are known as dart points, or spear points. The longer and larger points are lance points. Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla!
