Examples of Klamath/Modoc Style Points?

[Ahnlaashock]

I am not finding anything helpful on the Modoc.  I was hoping one of you knew the type used in that area by the peoples that depended on the salmon, if not the Modoc themselves.

Here's a set labeled as "Modoc" from an auction listing.  I believe the points are made from jet black obsidian.


Modoc Painted Wood Bow with four arrows
Circa 1880
Length 36 in. bow; Length of arrows 30 1/2 in. the longest

This carved yew wood bow is painted on the inner surface with a patter of triangular arrow point motifs in black against a white background and framed along the sides with a series of right triangles painted in red. The bow is complete with a sinew bowstring and is accompanied by four stone tipped arrows.

Provenance
Richard Corrow Collection, Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Not sure about the points but the pattern on the bow is very similar to the one I put on my sons bow which is a copy of a Modoc bow.  Pretty good chance this is a set.

let me clarify something, I have a copy of a compilation of points and projectiles of the lassen complex, if anyone wants one I can send a copy

Hey, I want one!  jackcrafty@yahoo.com

I am in Missouri, just south of St. Louis.  I am part Modoc myself, and that is why I was interested in their tools.  The points I found online, were all obsidian, or appeared to be, but there was no unifying pattern seen that I could detect.  Even the arrows posted here seem to have different style heads on each arrow.
The book listed covers that immediate area I assume.  A search for the terms did not do anything useful that I could tell.  Lots about geology, with a side mention of artifacts. 

[bubby]

sent ya something Patrick, you should like it lots of needle tip points

Hey, Bubby, could I get a copy, too?

I would love a copy also, Please!

So far, the Northern Side Notch is said to be the parent form for most in the area, at least in the information I was able to find.  Most I have seen are triangular.  That would square with the tips seen on the arrows pretty well I think. 

[bubby]

sure mullet ahnlaashock i'll get ya one

[Bryce]

Most where obsidian, but when that wasn't at hand, chert, agate where substitutes.

[Ahnlaashock]

I was thinking just about like the ones in the other post here about obsidian!

Thanks for the compilation, Bubby!  The photobucket link worked.
