Curious shaped blade there in the post before last. May be getting carried away but it vaguely reminded me of Mayan eccentric flints, albeit in cruder form:

(from http://www.precolumbianjade.com/maya.htm)
ie - something with a more ceremonial (?) than practical purpose. Just a thought.

That last one is a beautiful point but at 2 inches long and maybe an inch wide doesn't it seem too small for a spear point?
Of course, the Club says they didn't have archery... Maybe they were playing lawn darts?
Glad to see you're still keeping yourself busy, man.

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.

I sense the same problem for archery that there is for boats. The wooden parts are not going to survive. A bow is a stick with a string....both organic materials and an arrow shaft is a thin piece of wood with a stone point.
A thousand years of exposure wouldn't likely leave much aside from the point.
Interesting thought about the bigger clovis points though. First, one would assume that the hunter would know to stab for the spots without a lot of bone to protect them. Think your wife would let you stab a big pork roast with one to see what happens?
