Can do malady! The First one is a classic Travis Point(middle through late archaic), and a nice one.

The Second is a broken Frio Point(same age span).

Could the complete point possibily be a Morhiss also?

Nope, no rounded base.

Agree with Travis, on the first. However, second appears more Merrill than Frio. Would require context for correct ID. Not many are aware of the early archaic "Merrill", which usually has more rounded auricles than Frio.

I have no archeological reference for this Merrill type. Could you direct me to your source for it? I'd appreciate having it in my archival material.
Thanks, Mike

Name thrown around in the 60's for an early archaic point with bifurcated stem and blunted auricles. Name not accepted officially, but some diggers still use it, as there is no other name offered. They usually have a "Mickey Mouse" eared appearance, however the auricles are sometimes square or odd shaped. Many are beveled from sharpeninhg. They are earlier than Angostura down around Uvalde.



These are west texas examples of a fella named Justin.

Thanks much for the information, of which has left me a bit stunned! I have several of these in my collection, and just assumed they were Frio variants. Down around Uvalde is where I am at now, and what stuns me is that I have found them at least alongside angosturas! If Merill could be transitional paleo down here, could it also be a predessor form linking to Frio? (of which has 3 variant forms as is). I'm elated at this new knowledge and most intrigued by it.
