Hey, Columbus stumbled across America while looking for China. Puts you in good company.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

Charlie, here's a reference for Mike Price for identification of Projectile Points.

That's a useful reference site.

Looks pretty small for a spear point, Charlie (unless you have really BIIIGGG hands.) And of course there was no arrow-making at the time and they weren't supposed to know about atlatls....so.....what do you think?

Yeah, I think, because it's not symmetrical, it was probably used as a knife.

Overall, though, I think sizes of projectile points changed with climatic changes, and ultimately the local game available for food. It's weird though, because the Hueyatlaco unifacial points are small, but they were found in mammoth remains
Hey Charley, that 2.5" point is a paleo lancelet point. I have a beautiful one in my collection that was made from chalcedony. I have to agree that they were used as knives since arrowheads and atlatls were not in use at that time. I'll get you a pic as soon as the batteries on my camera are recharged ... they fell victim to a soccer game.
