Sloth slayers

Thought i would try something different ,the small red one was my first attempt it is kind of close to the real thing but the big one is my artsy version of a coryell point . Both are made of indian paint jasper .

Nice work on those points Bret, I haven't seen anything on those points since Arrowheadology.

I’d like to learn more on the sloth slayers ?

[Lindenmeier-Man]

Never mind. A non topic .

Steve (Gar Scale) shared a bunch of pictures here: https://forums.arrowheads.com/forum/...5-sloth-slayer
Hey Bret, That's a couple of beautiful reproductions.

[Lindenmeier-Man]

Thanks Ron. I read and reread the old post. To me, it’s like the iron axe head found together with the Clovis preform in the sink hole at the Gault site.

Thanks for adding that link, some VERY interesting stuff there

Really nice work, those SS points were pretty amazing! Beautiful rendition!
I wish we had a definitive answer on those although it seemed likely they were very old.

That red one is an absolutely eye catcher. You captured the almost angry nature of the serrations on the base.

The Slothslayer/Cor points are interesting. Surprisingly like the Cooper's Ferry pre-Clovis point from Idaho, but supersized (and built more a lineman than a distance runner.)

Unfortunately, the lines between collectors and professional archaeologists can be hard to cross. Steve was/is excavating with a bobcat style front loader and a mechanical sifter, and Pre-Clovis archaeology usually needs a more academic approach. Steve did share a lot of material with the team from Gault, but I think they were mostly interested in his normal paleo assemblage.

This link isn't very informational, but it has a good picture of the Idaho points, FWIW.

Outstanding work! That is some premium color.

Man that red one looks deadly

[Upatree]
