  • Are these arrow heads?

    Hi All,

    i came across these over the weekend in NW Colorado (Moffat County). I’m a beginner when it comes to arrow head finding and identifying. Looking for some insight on if you believe these are arrow heads or just broken rock.

    Appreciate the help!

    Yes and no.. the larger one is probably a knife that's missing the base. The second pic is what I believe to be the base of a hanna dart point. I find them here to. Your orientation is a little off, so this is what I think it would have looked like.

        I agree with Chad. It looks like a Hanna. We have them over here in SD as well. Pretty old point. I’m thinking somewhere around 3000 years or so old.

                Does anyone have any idea's about the larger one? Is there a name for that one or a way to estimate how old?

                  Most folks will call it a flaked tool, no real name for them, some sites they are the most common artifact. They come in many shapes and sizes. Plainly they are a good flake material sharpened into a useful cutting or scraping tool. Kim
