Howdy folks,
Poking through my collection again and decided I'd post a few more. These are three I really like, the first two on left because of their beauty and construction. They are Miwok from a dig on a private Ranch in Pope Valley, CA when I was in college. Gal I knew had a father with a huge ranch with mounds all over it. The large point is of deep chocolate brown obsidian and both are wickedly serrate on the edges as were many of the points at this location. This tribe was fairly warlike I'd guess, and excellent knappers. The broke on the right I found in a walnut orchard near Borax Lake and is a Borax Lake point. These are extremely rare and date way back, some into paleo times. Complete they form a perfect Xmas tree shape ad this one complete would have been a better than three inch dart point. Again, the quality of the knapping is excellent and damn the plow that broke this one up. Place had just been plowed and I could not find the other piece.
