Re: Mystery Point????Maybe the new Austin?

I'd agree, sure looks beveled to me. Good find there Snoop.

Re: Mystery Point????Maybe the new Austin?

Beveling is just the easiest way to resharpen a worn point.
If the base is the same, why give a different name just because of the way it was resharpened?

Maybe time will tell if it becomes common usage. " Commanche Perd " is well used but ill defined in most
books.
Same could be said for the " Oak a lla " / Lange / Bulverde classification.

Nice point Snoop ( I'll call it an Austin ) Is this the same one you had at digfest or another good find ?

We have yet to see the Austin " best example he ever found " by Flint

Re: Mystery Point????Maybe the new Austin?

Hey Hal it's the point I had at digg feet sorry it took forever to post .
I'm not sure what it is but I sure like it the patina. Is awesome

Re: Mystery Point????Maybe the new Austin?

I agree with Fred,just an ol PERD.I have other points with resharpened bevels on them.You gonna rename them to???

Re: Mystery Point????Maybe the new Austin?

The Pedernales type originated in central Texas 3000 to 4000 years ago. The Comanche tribe did not arrive in central Texas until the 1700's. There is no connection between the Comanche tribe and the Pedernales type................different people in a different millenia. I've been told that the confusion came when much older Pedernales points were found in a known historical Comanche campsite. Good campsites were used by many cultures for thousands of years.

Re: Mystery Point????Maybe the new Austin?

Hey tiny dont shoot the messenger i dont get paid to do that. If your upset talk to the typers i was just relaying info i was givin. But if you need a new name badass will do lol. I have never seen a perd beveled on opposite sides, if you have one do show it please.
