In nine years of digging I have found thirty or so ( Depends on who's counting ) different blade and projectile points on these three sites in addition to the blade types in the photo. Pieces found on these sites range from crude to the point of barely functional to G10. The most common projectile points found are Pedernales, Bulverde, Nolan, Lange, and Marcos. No true arrowheads of any type have been found on these three sites........to me, thats a real good indication that there was no one living there during the bow and arrow developmental period.

great show Redman. I love them all

Very nice Redman! Your center artifact looks way too nice to be a Gary. In the picture, I can't see any stem taper or edgework, but I would still be more inclined to call it Bulverde related.

Thanks for the picture

JHaberer, good observation. Turner and Hester characterize a Bulverde as having a thin finely chipped base that is wedge-shaped in cross-section. I re-examined the piece and the base does in fact have those characteristics. They also describe the Gary as usually being relatively crude and thick; this piece is neither. The two cultures do overlap both in time and geography. That short contracting stem is really too small for a Bulverde of that size. Its not the first blade I've seen over the years that had the characteristics of two cultures.
