  • Saharan Spiral 120

    I finally got my 120 Saharan points in a display case. Many of these arrow points are very small. I am posting a picture with a larger file size so you can zoom in if you want a closer look.

        I really like that orange "leaf" shaped point. Looks like it would be translucent.

        Wow. Awesome to see the similarities in technology/techniques even a half a world away. I think that might be my favorite part about this collection. Oh yea...it looks awesome too haha

          Thanks Mike, They had some great lithics to work with and some of the types are very similar to what you find in the Americas.

            Great stuff, Ron. Those points have become so popular and collectable over the past 20 years or so. Nice display!

              Those are some neat points. Would love to find some points in a foreign country. I looked in Israel, but only found a little Roman glass.
