Are there any examples around ? Most think they’re just San Patrice that shows there attempt to move westward ?

Someone had several of them at the Paleo American Odyssey Conference in 2013, and it was hard to see any significant differences between a Rodgers Side Hollow and San Patrice points.
The only significant difference is density on sites. A San Patrice Camp in East Texas can produce a shocking number of points. You'll never see that density in West Texas or NM. It could have just been population density and years of occupation in the east (San Patrice makers probably stayed at a good camp for generations), or it might indicate that the Rodgers Side Hollow makers were just passing through the area infrequently.Hong Kong, but from Indiana/Florida

The San Patrice point is a type of Late Paleoindian point that is typically found in the southeastern United States, while the Rodgers Side Hollow point is a type of projectile point commonly found in the Great Plains and southwestern United States.
There are many different types of projectile points found in North America, and while there are similarities between some types, there are also distinct differences that allow archaeologists to differentiate between them. It can be challenging to identify a specific type of point based solely on a photo or description, as the diagnostic features may not be visible or may be weathered or damaged.
It's possible that the differences in the number of San Patrice points found in East Texas versus West Texas or New Mexico could be related to factors such as population density, subsistence practices, or environmental conditions. However, without more detailed archaeological and environmental data, it's difficult to draw definitive conclusions.Last edited by painshill; 04-20-2023, 07:18 PM.

I noticed this comment reads a lot like a ChatGPT or another AI response. This poster only had 3 posts and was banned, but never said anything offensive. Is that why? Weird. I wonder what somebody’s motivation was - maybe making a bunch of bots sign up on message boards to study how well they can blend in? If so: FAIL!
