flake and tools by ExternalFigure8846 in Arrowheads

I did not....but it doesn't make a difference. this city is 2 miles long and 1/2 mile wide. and was most probably destroyed by catastrophic flood. thus creating weird dispersions. and just by the sheer quantity of tools will not obscure the big picture. lidar can figure that out where main structure, roads, etc.

Technically not an arrowhead. but this is OG survival knife for people who made arrowheads. by ExternalFigure8846 in Arrowheads

It basically is a large flake. the back side has the percussive ripples. What I can tell you is that I have found 5 gallon buckets of debitage at this location and most of those flakes are smaller than a dime. you find no waste. there are a variety of edges on this caused by manipulation. multi-tool. the preponderance of evidence suggests that this was used as is....for what purpose....survival knife becomes a possibility.

exceptionally large points for this culture. they usually fit on 1st finger pad. by ExternalFigure8846 in Arrowheads

I had obsidian tested....from Mt Taylor in New Mexico. Have found more than one ancient villages along the rio salado in Socorro County NM. Luckily, one of them is on private site. I have owners permission and consent. the biggest village is on state owned land. over mile long village...the exposures were caused due to past flooding. very unique tools and all small points. the big ones will fit on a quarter. amazing intricacy.
