Some pictures from the Warren, AR Arrowhead Show Today (LOTSA PICS)

I got a flier from Mike Nichols Auctions with an EBay purchase for a show in Warren, AR this weekend. I enjoy the summer show season, and love traveling through Arkansas, so I decided to reserve some tables and see what it was like. This was the first time this show has been held; it is part of a larger celebration called . . . I kid you not . . . the Pink Tomato Festival! Apparently they grow a lot of 'maters in those parts! Anyway, there were about 40 tables, all filled with flint. Not a lot of walkthrough traffic, but lots of dealers, mainly local, and tons of novaculite and nice Caddo pottery! Here are some pictures:

All recovered in ONE cache, if you can believe it! And that's only half of them!


now THAT's a Redstone!!!


They find a few Daltons in Arkansas, I hear.


Some of them have TEETH!!






I love the dog head on this effigy pot.

All these beads recovered in one cache.


I was the proud owner of this Caddo pot for about 30 minutes. Then someone walked by who wanted it more than I did.

And we even got to see a hot air balloon regatta on the way home!!!

Looks like a great trip. Pottery is awsome from Arkansas. Wish I could aquire more.
Did you meet any local dealers? I have bought points from one guy that lives in Warren.

I wish I could have went.Sarah was working so Lexie was hanging out with me.I don't think I could have drove that far with her by myself.Looks like some nice stuff showed up.I have one question though.Is that a Poverty Point Weenie Dog effigy bead in the cache from Mississippi?

[Indianasmith]

Don't know that it was INTENDED to be a weenie dog . . . maybe just a long skinny piece of catlinite!!!

Great pictures Lewis. I was wondering about the Bead Cache myself. Quite a few look like modern dogs species. That's a little strange.

Also, funny you should mention Game Of Thrones. My son just turned me on to the HBO series after he downloaded the first 9 episodes and we watched them all Thursday and Friday. I am hooked now. What an awesome series. If you are into the Middle Ages then this is a must see. My son read all the books and loved them but I'll just stick to the shows.
