Some old TX points.

My inspector brought out some points he's picked up around the neuaces river in south TX. Pretty good little collecction. I'm impressed at how thin they were able to get them back then. I'm going to be doing a little splunkin tomorrow. Hopefully I'll find something, if so will update.

Vey cool! Thank you for sharing Cowboy. That is thinner than any field finds I have.

I've been on numerous archaeological digs along the Nueces River between Campwood and Uvalde and most of the points found have been incredibly thin.  Those paleo and archaic boys in that area really knew how to thin them.  Of couse,  it helped that they were in an area that provided excellent raw material to work.

Heading to Texas next week for a month.  Would love to be able to hunt for points but private land owners aren't quite as friendly about that as they are here in New Mexico.  I did find a nice source spot for rock here and sent two boxes home to a knapper buddy of mine who made some really nice points out of the rock.

Ahh, Nueces - that's how ya spell it . Yep, them guys were good! I've found a few broken wafer thin points out along the border around Del Rio. Well, my splunkin was not very fruitfull in the artifact finding section - but I did find plenty of flint .

That's a sweet Langtry!  Very nice collection.  Thanks for posting that, Paul!  I never get tired of seeing the old stuff and looking at the different materials.

That langtry looks like it's made from the same stuff that I bought at our knap-in last weekend.  It's heat treated.  I think shumla's were made from that type of rock also.
