100 or so San Patrice related points
100 or so San Patrice related points

Moderator Note: this thread was first posted in 2012 but failed to transfer across to the new forum when the software was updated, and so has been re-created manually.
I had to shift around my East Tx frame (thanks to Mark Adams), and it ended up just being San Patrice related materials (mostly different flavors of San Patrice points) but also a couple of other points found on San Patrice sites.
I've never found one of these points personally, but I've loved them since I ended up with one in trade. They are just really neat little, quirky late paleo and early Archaic points that have a lot of left over traits from their paleo fathers combined with side notching that started spreading like wildfire in the early archaic. I think they are Early Archaic based on their camp/site structure that shows them living in one spot over time, but there are many archaeologists that still clump them into late paleo.
They are without a doubt, one of the coolest little 10,000 year old points out there for the money. For those that buy, my average cost per point in this frame is probably under $15.
Please feel free to add your own pictures of San Patrice points!

That good for nothing Adams! making you rearrange your case. I have never found one either, so I cant contribute to this thread. Looks like they got the maximum use out of those points. That is quite the collection assembled of a single type. Thanks for showing.

That row running up and down the center is special. Thanks for the the look at a very nice collection.

I'll take a couple of pictures tomorrow with the real camera. Some of them are very much like small fluted points, others show a very clear connection to Daltons, yet others are similar to Hardaways, others are identical to Kirks, and some look like small Scotty related tools.
Chase, yes, they used these guys to the last drop. Part of that is that they are usually made with colorful local cobbles and pet woods that didn't come in large pieces, but a big part is that they just used and resharpened them extensively.
Bob, I try to do those random placement displays that some people do, and I always end with the nicer points in the middle...
