This purdy piece of rock here is a Castroville point, they are a medium to large size, broad corner notched point with expanding base and prominent tangs, alot of points can go in different categories, this one could be close to a Smith point, which is basal notched, but im gonna call it a castroville, cause it fits the description a wee bit better.....hard to judge some points, all in the eyes of the beholder alot of the times. Late Archaic to Woodland. | ![]() |
This point has a chunk taken out of the base, but I wanted to show it anyways, because its a beautiful piece. It is a Thebes, made out of a glossy pink flint, and the workmanship is amazing on it, its thin and has all the qualities that I drool over in a good point. (too bad its busted...but hey, we cant have everything). Early Archaic. | ![]() |

This is another Marshall point, one of the finest i've seen, and sure nuff the finest i've ever found. Its paper thin, and the knapper sure knew what he was doing with this rock, the flakes flow so smoothly. (the picture sucks on this one.) | ![]() |
