  • ID help on two Texas artifacts

    Hi Again- This is my second post.

    I am doing really good on the ID of most of my points. Later I will post some with what I have presumed. I have two artifacts that I can’t place. Are they arrowheads or some type of tool? They are both from Texas and I can’t recall from exactly were. The areas we hunted in the late 1950s- 1960s were Real, Kerr, Edwards, Uvalde, and some in Lampasas counties. There is an outside chance they came from my aunt who lived near Paris.

    When I was a kid, we sometimes bow hunted for quail and pheasants with arrows we called “flu-flus” that had 30-30 shells on the end instead of points. Could these be a Native American equivalent? Thanks again for your response-

          Flu-flu ...could be, I think hafted end scraper though, judging by the style of base either Paleo or early archaic,
