A couple of pretty arrowheads

[joshuaream]

I sometimes have to remind myself to contribute more than comments to a forum, so here are a couple of pictures I took a while back of some pieces from my Mongolia frame. I'm just not a photographer, but the colors are purple, red, green and three opal like points that came from a cache.

No relics were harmed during the course of these pictures, but I'm pretty sure the leaf died.

Beautiful pieces Joshua. Love the serrations. Sorry to hear about the leaf.

Mongolia???
So are these Neolithic?////c

[joshuaream]

Yes, but quite a bit different than African neolithic...

Outside the US, most people refer to our Archaic and later periods as neolithic... (Farming, pottery, ground stone relics, etc. right about the same time as they appeared in the rest of the world.)

[jhaberer]

Very nice.

Length?


jh

[uniface]

World stuff certainly puts ours into perspective.

We tend to grade ours on a curve . . .

JH,

I'm not home now to measure them, but I want to say the bigger ones are about 2 inches or so long.

Here is a picture with some of them in hand if that provides a better reference.

This statement makes good sense Mr. Ream.
I think the quality of Neolithic Points are of "Gem quality////c
