Title: Point Styles
Post by: nugget on May 26, 2009, 09:42:16 pm

Does anybody know if there is a place I can get some pictures of different point styles in chart form? I am thinking of doing a project for school on knapping and would like to be able to show different points as they relate to parts of the country. Especially Eastern Woodland points. Points that would be from NC and states around it. I know of a few points, but a chart or website would be a better source.
Thanks
TJ

The Story in Stone poster by Val Waldorf is great-you can probably find it for sale online somewhere. Here's a couple of websites with local point sequences:
