08-270 Common Corner Notch Point made from Knife River chalcedony from North Dakota. A common point type made out of an uncommon material! As the story goes, a swamp was buried, turned into lignite, then "silicified," turning it into chalcedony. This formation was later eroded out and the chalcedony is now found as cobbles in the resulting gravel. When this point is held up to the light, it is a beautiful translucent, honey color with white flicks showing. These specks are pieces of fossilized cattail leaves from the old swamp! Length, 3 3/16 inches. Price, $30. |

08-193 Stone Square Stem point made from Cotter chert. This is one of the most common Middle Archaic point types to be found in the MO and AR Ozarks. They were named after Stone Co. MO and many were made from the local Cotter Dolomite chert. Length, 3 5/8 inches. Price, $20. |

08-154 Calf Creek type point made from heat treated Burlington-Crescent chert. Due to some irregularities in the base, I was unable to push the notches any deeper, so I "quit while I still had a head!" Length, 3 3/4 inches. Price, $20. |

06-99 Bottleneck point made from
highly heat treated Flint Ridge chert. In Ohio, this Middle Archaic
type is called a "Bottleneck" due to the shape of its stem. In
Missouri, they were named after "Table Rock" Lake where a number of
them were found. The Ohio points are usually of higher quality and
the edges of their stems are heavily ground and polished as they saw
use as knives. Length, 2 7/8 inches. Price, $15.
