Let's see pics of your smallest points.....
« on: November 29, 2007, 11:42:17 am »
Hey everyone, I've always loved those litte, intricate, mean looking "bird points" that are really small.  Everyone seems fascinated with giant stone blades or Clovis points that are 7 inches long and made from exotic, colorful chert.  But what about the little screamer arrowheads that are so fine and intricate that it takes a magnifying glass to see the flake scars?  That's what I like.   Any of ya'll who can make those little points, be proud!  Post some pics!  Go against the crowd, shun those who take a giant piece of stone and only make one point out of it.  I want to see examples of your finest flintknapping in miniature!

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Have you guys ever tried the tiny Mesolithic microlith points found in Britain?
