M, we know your right,,,, but did your typing fingers ( pun intended ) accidentally touch a few wrong keys ?

Not only does "Stone Artifacts" illustrations look nothing like your find BUT, the Bassett range is so far to NE TX, it's even past Travis' haunts

Re: Sweet small guy

Range & distribution of Arrow Points was much greater than Archaic. Bassett,Perdiz,Turner,Hays, & perhaps some Livermores are among the few having a pointed base, of which is key. Bassett is by no means confined to N.E. Texas, but has been found all the way from Central Kansas through Oklahoma and into Central Texas.Bassett is not an Old Point Hal, they(Plains Indians) had horses back then to get around.The range and distribution of type points are better referenced from archeological files/reports than from single authors.

Re: Sweet small guy

Bassett......not!
Stiener......not!

Pure Catahoula, just not square barbed. The stiener stickers occur on many points, where this one came from. No classic, but a real keeper.

Re: Sweet small guy

A couple of my catahoulas. The only things that doesn't look catahoula to me is the base, usually don't see them that narrow.

Re: Sweet small guy

AAahhh zo,,a Catahoula by any other name is still a beauty. { refering to Mikes'}
Good observations on mobility too, might also apply to that random scrap of pottery found along the trail.

And Chris' contribution, great, those are high dollar slivers of flint. Seeing those excessive "serations" put me in mind of some of the wildly exotic "teeth" we see on the swords the baddy Ninjas' use
