I had some of those but i was scared they would get mixed in with my collection and sold them. All my stuff is personal finds from one site.

Thank you for sharing this, it is an amazing collection of some interesting pieces. It’s nice to see artifacts from other parts of the world.

What a great collection those beads are like jewels.

Thanks Dennis, Some of the biconically drilled beads have such small holes I have to wonder what they used to string them up.

This photo shows several different types of arrow points (Both Neolithic and Mesolithic).



There are a few Mica Beads and they are only 2mm thick:

Wonderful collection, Ron. Many forms similar to our American types. Skillful knapping too.

Very cool Ron……some killer lithics in that collection!

[Kyflintguy]

Awesome collection! Lots of very interesting artifacts and lithics!

Here's a few Neolithic points from my collection. They made some killer points over there! The longest one for reference is just a bit over 3 inches long.

Nice collection of quality points.

Awesome collection from another part of the world. 5th photo down - has the shape of a gar scale point.

Prior to the invention of modern materials, flyfishermen would use a strand or three of horse tail hair for their tippet (the thinnest part of the line that attaches the fly to the mainline). I don’t think you’d want to string a necklace full of those particular beads that way because you couldn’t pass enough strands through the hole to make it strong enough, but you could secure one bead at a time to something heavier duty with a horse-like hair. Maybe. Can’t think of anything thinner and stronger or they would’ve used it for flyfishing.
