Just found your channel a couple of weeks ago, love it! I found my first dart point when I was 6 years old, just sitting on the top of an old sand road in front of my great grandparents house in South Carolina. At 6 years old I knew what it was immediately. That was 57 years ago and my eyes have been on the ground ever since.
Hi Scott , as usual your video was great and informative . I learn so much more from you than I do the other channels . I'm sorry that Rocky is still being a pain in the butt , looking Forward to seeing your next video
robbertram, Sometimes Grandparents, and Great Grandparents were know to drop trinkets to encourage kids to follow a path, or keep their eyes peeled. Seldom done now adays (parents at 16, grandparent at 30 and great grandparent at 45, don't axe about age 75 !). ☆
Boys n girls, now you pay attention to these videos cos when the power goes down permanently and we're thrown back into the stone age the difference between long term survival and dying of starvation and exposure might just depend upon how well you can fashion tools and weapons
I’m glad I found your channel a few weeks ago. I live along the Ohio river Parkersburg area. Man you’re channel is addictive been watching your videos every day trying to catch up.
That is a very good way to lay out the points with the dates. Really continue that concept in as much detail as you have points to fill in. Make additional notes on it that you can find to include even if far away from Ohio like Europe, India, and China. The Megafauna like woolly mammoths and Clovis culture disappeared from North America at the Younger Dryas Event 12k years ago, and so the Ohio buffalo herd migrations may have still retained larger points until they went further West. And like you said the transition to bows took weight out of the tips. Younger Dryas was a big event but there were also harmonic smaller events at 6k years ago (Noah?) and 3k years ago (Sea Peoples/Bronze age collapse) plus major events like Rome falling 1.5k years ago. Look for a book "Solar History" by Dobler.
Excellent presentation. 👍 I've never found a rock with a groove in it like your example. That's extraordinary. I do have a small, pocket size piece of hemotite that's all scratched up on 2 sides and smooth on 2 outer edges. Possibly used for grinding bases as well. Great vid! Happy artifacting! ✌
Scott: Good video, thanks. Glad you are well. I wondered if Helene made it up your way. We were on the edge, in Catawba County. We were lucky, just a few trees down on the farm.
@@markmanley8673 Only blade on the display is the first one (oldest). Yes, sometimes ground on the sides to prevent cutting the binding. The base goes against the wood, no binding across there (either knife or projectile). I have several knives as well, they usually have one side of the blade favored over the other. These are symmetrical.
When did the people in North America start using the atlatl? Could that have something to do with the different ways the backs of points were made? Or is it possible that they came up with a better way to connect points to shafts so polishing stopped being important? I never thought about stone points splitting shafts but I suppose it's a problem, especially if the shaft is a soft wood or it's moving very fast. It seems like the atlatl would have forced some changes in point design, and bows again later.
Thanks for the video, I was wondering if you could help with possibly identifying an arrow head I have. It’s from south Indiana and from all the research Ive done, I cant for the life of me figure out what time period It’s from. It’s a creamy gray tan color with a few dispersed rust colored red and orange lines and spots. (Chert i’m guessing). The shape is exactly that of a lancet arch. A little less than two inches long. The workmanship isn’t what I would call the best. (As arrowheads go) It’s not quite symmetrical, and on one of the faces there is a little protrusion of material that didn’t get knocked off. Any ideas are welcome and appreciated. Thank you in advance!
You should reach out to WV University or your nearest Junior College and see if you could teach a class on native points. You're an expert whether you like to admit it or not. The young people attending will probably call your class the best of their education there! ❤
Duu Most larger points are for darts thrown with an atlatl. Common sense would tell you if left sharp the back of the points would cut back into the shaft. having taken up knapping as a hobby in the past I did not find this informative.

the new theory is the people used large spears that they could anchor on the ground on the early animals
Thanks for the good information about dart points.
@@michaelmalone9062 Thank you as well
Those big blades were never hafted to spears .they were knives and we're ground to prevent cutting into it's binding from use .

Why did they make the back part sharp to begin with? Really, I don't care why.
@@A3Kr0n It’s just natural when shaping, it always leaves a sharp edge
Good analogy Scott, the weapons changed, because the game size dictated the need to go smaller.
