This page contains ancient Native American Indian arrowheads and other artifacts from the Paleo time era.
(9,000 years ago to 14,000 years ago) This was the VERY FIRST period during which the Native
American Indians populated "the new world". To reserve any arrowhead on this page, simply note the
arrowheads ID number and send an email to Terry Baxter: tbaxter999@gmail.com

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
PA110 Pretty in Paleo Pink ! A very nice, well made and Recovered in 1,500.00
fairly thin Paleo Pink Chert Folsom dart point. It Rains Co., TX
was made on a flake by an intermediate knapper  (more details to buyer)
who used the flatter flake's surfaces near the base
for hafting in lieu of creating fluting channels. It
has nice basal grinding but it also has a few small
nicks to the edges in the area of the tip. Still a
most attractive and very ancient specimen Perino COA (6/9/97)

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
PA112 A very nice glossy brown chert Hell Gap dart  Recovered in 600.00
point having lighter patina on side B. It is a sturdy Osage Co., OK
and well made piece having thorough flaking to (details to buyer)
both faces, although the flaking on side A is more  
intricate. The basal area is thoroughly ground and
with the exception of a single step just to the right
of the vertical centerline near the tip (photo 4),
it's a problem-free and very attractive point

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
SLPA63 An attractive reddish-purple chert Offered by the finder 215.00
Crescent, thoroughly flaked on both faces who recovered this one
but having a lateral shear to one working in the Alvord Desert in
end and a nicked-off ear on the opposing Harney Co., OR
side which removed a small section of side
A as well (bottom of photo 2 and photo
10) Still a scarce color for a Crescent

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RHPA63 A fairly attractive greenish-gray brown and tan chert Paleo Found in Scott County, Iowa 350.00
Milnesand dart point which is thoroughly flaked on both on the Mississippi River
faces with nice basal thinning patterns on both faces. The
host stone has a couple of very small crystal inclusion "pits" 
(photo 6) and it has an ancient nick to one corner of the base
as well as to the very tip. Still a good, solid Paleo piece.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPPA15 A somewhat crude mottled red, brown and pink chert Arkabutla Recovered in 130.00
dart point. It has a bit of a rough surface area on side A just Benton Co., AR
above the right auricle in photo 2 and a more serious dip in the 
center of side B, just above the base (photos 4 & 6). It has a nice
glossy surface from heavy river polish and appears to have the
signature of a novice knapper, with good Paleo basal grinding. Ex: Perino

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MCPA2 A well made mottled sky blue and light gray Fort Payne chert Clovis Dart Recovered near 1,200.00
point which is still a gorgeous piece, despite the ancient tip damage. The  Huntsville, AL
tip has a diagonal "cut" which was "possibly" caused by an impact fracture,
although the tip damage looks more like it was chipped in ancient times 
and then re-worked with pressure flaking to one face, possibly to be used
as a slitting knife tool, before it was anciently repaired. (which it never
was, Perino's COA shows the ancient pressure flaking to this
broken/refurbished area.) It's very well flaked on both faces and has an
excellent fair-sized flute to each face. It has great basal grinding and is still 
a great looking most ancient piece with no flaws other than the tip section,
which might not be flawed at all, from the ancient's standpoint, having been
reworked for use. Perino COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RHPA55 A very attractive, very symmetrical glossy white quartzite- Recovered in Indiana SOLD
chert Paleo Holcombe Dart point. It's fairly thin with 1/18
multiple vertical ledges on side A, where the host stone
resisted flaking attempts by the ancient knapper. (photos 4
& 6) It has nice paleo basal grinding and drooping basal
barbs normally found with Folsom related points. Ex: Rene Battiman

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RHPA57 A nice and meaty medium-tan flint Paleo Midland Dart point / knife form  Recovered in 500.00
which is thoroughly flaked in the Paleo style of horizontal percussion to a SE Missouri
median ridge on both faces. It has a small section which was anciently
damaged along one cutting edge, and I won't insult your intelligence by
trying to pass this off as a "spoke shave" as others do, this damaged area
although not recent, appears to have happened in an age slightly more
recent than the artifact's original creation. It has a small very ancient nick
to the tip of one corner of the base and it has nice basal thinning and good
basal grinding. Just an overall attractive Paleo piece with "character".

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
BMPA12 An exceptional Harrodsburg Found in SOLD
chert Midland dart point Alexander Co., IL  
having nice flaking patterns 
and measuring 65mm x 27mm Stermer COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RHPA58 A fairly thin mottled blue flint Folsom Dart point which shows traits of   Recovered near 500.00
multiple ancient re-sharpenings by pressure flaking to the edges which Ft. Smith, AR
have crossed over the fluting ridgelines, causing the fluting areas to be
somewhat less defined. It lost one auricle in ancient times, but is
otherwise intact, as it was used long ago and is still a very rare item. Rogers COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RHPA59 A very nice, fairly small (for type) semi-translucent chalcedony Midland Dart  Provenance was 500.00
point showing flaking patterns to a median ridge on side A, while side B is flatter undocumented but this
in cross-section with horizontal flaking patterns. It does have micro-edgework, was judged to be a 
as is typical for Midland points, although the micro-edgework is somewhat  Texas/New Mexico type
subdued, owing to the nature of the host stone. It has good paleo basal grinding by Jackson
which travels up each edge past the horizontal centerline and the very tip of one
auricle was anciently lost. Still a good looking and rare Paleo piece. Jackson COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RHPA60 A nice, broad creamy white with blue-gray spots chert Clovis Dart point  Recovered in 200.00
showing a single short percussion flute on side A and two longer, but shallow Decator Co., GA
percussion flutes on side B. I can't begin to guess the original host stone
material nor color, although I suspect that it was quite a bit darker than what
is now apparent, and I personally think that the entire outer white surface is
the result of thousands of years of patina build-up. It has light basal grinding
and lost one auricle in ancient times. The flaking patterns aren't anything to
write home about, although they were evidently enough to get the job done,
and are definitely Paleo by trait. Overall, not a bad Paleo piece.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RHPA61 A fairly small semi-translucent honey colored agate Midland Dart Provenance undocumented other than most 300.00
point. The entire surface appears to have been heavily desert likely from the San Luis Valley area in
polished which, in addition to the nature of the host stone, subdued Texas deduced from finder's hunting areas
the flaking patterns to a fair degree. It has good basal grinding with
a somewhat irregular concave base and the auricles appear to be
intact as anciently made and used. An attractive little dart point. Bob Knowlton Paper

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RHPA62 A very nice, fairly thin chocolate brown jasper Paleo Midland Dart Recovered in Texas 950.00
point which has excellent Paleo horizontal transverse percussion
flaking on both faces. It has good and typical Midland paleo grinding
which travels up both edges about 2/3rds of the way from the base.
The base is well formed with basal thinning pressure flaking on both
faces. The only negative trait this most ancient piece has is the ancient
damage to the tip, which is not all that bad. (photos 6 & 8) Rogers COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPPA1 A super paper-thin semi-translucent honey colored agate Belen Recovered in Curry Co., NM 1600.00
(Midland variant) Dart point. The host material looks every bit like
Knife River Flint, even down to the bluish-hued patina. It has gorgeous
horizontal transverse flaking patterns with very minute pressure flaking
and good Paleo basal grinding. It has a very ancient "clip" from one
edge, just above the hafting area which I just can't figure out, as it
appears to have been pressure flaked and possibly intentional, as the
frosty bluish-white patina forms a thin line all around the outer edges of
this piece, and the patina line isn't broken across this section.... OK,
Some kind soul email'd me and jogged my memory banks by letting
me know that this section was most likely used as a shaft-scraper...
Duh!... I *knew dat* (at one time)...
Truly a gorgeous piece created by a true Master knapper. Ex: Greg Perino Collection

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPPA4 A very attractive mottled light gray dover (?) Found in Missouri (NFI) 2000.00
chert Midland Dart point (classified as Midland
by Greg Perino) which is well worked on both
faces with good Paleo grinding. Essentially a
problem-free example of this ancient type. Ex: Greg Perino Collection

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPPA5 A mottled orangish-tan and dark gray chert Paleo Hi-Lo Recovered on a private farm 750.00
Dart point which is well flaked on both faces by an in McCurtain Co., OK
intermediate knapper. It has nice basal grinding and the
creator chose to take advantage of the no-effort basal
thinning provided by the host stone's striking platform. 
(photo 8) A very attractive, problem-free Paleo artifact. Ex: Greg Perino Collection

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPPA6 A very thin and slender "fish-tailed" (er, one at least) mottled Recovered in Paris, 425.00
brown chert Midland Dart point, well flaked on both faces Lamar Co., TX
with good paleo basal grinding. Obviously it's missing one
entire ear from the base which was anciently lost. Ex: Greg Perino Collection

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPPA7 A very good-sized creamy white burington chert Recovered near Sedalia, MO 2000.00
Paleo Stanfield Knife form which is very sturdy
and well flaked on both faces. With the
exception of a small single-flake recent nick to
one edge just above the base (left side in photo
6) this one's as perfect as the day it was made. Ex: Greg Perino Collection

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPPA8 A gorgeous mottled gray and tan bull's eye cobden chert Recovered in Illinois 2200.00
Clovis Knife form, thoroughly flaked on both faces with
a single short flute on the base of side A. Side B shows
basal thinning. One ear of the base was anciently
sheared off, but other than that it's pretty much "all 
there" as it was anciently used. Quite an attractive piece! Ex: Greg Perino Collection

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPPA9 A fairly thin (for size) attractive mottled light gray Paleo   Found in Eufala, OK 1000.00
Ovoid Knife blade, well flaked on both faces with a bit of a
rough cutting edge from ancient usage near the tip. It retains
a powdery white section on the base from the original host
stone's outer cortex and has a substantial single step from 
an overly aggressive flaking effort leading vertically from the Ex: Greg Perino Collection
base for a length of 1/2". A great paleo piece! Perino COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPPA10 A very thin (for size) creamy white, blue and tan Recovered in 1000.00
burlington chert Paleo Ovoid Knife blade fairly well Callaway Co., MO
flaked on both faces, mostly by percussion flaking.
An excellent centerpiece for any collection. Ex: Greg Perino Collection

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RPPA11 A highly unusual mottled light gray and orange-tan Paleo Found near Winnsboro 400.00
Backed Knife blade apparently made on a quite flat and Mt. Pleasant, TX
Edwards Plateau chert slab and anciently resharpened
until the cutting edges became too squared-off to be Ex: Partain, McClemore
useful. Thoroughly flaked on both faces by percussion and Perino Collections
flaking with much pressure flaking to the cutting edges. Perino COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MHPA107 A very interesting, "pointy" brown and red Found near SOLD
jasper Folsom. It has a full flute on side A   Deming in Luna Co.,  12/19
and slight remnants of an older flute on New Mexico
side B which is less defined due to ancient
resharpenings. The pressure flaking on the
edgework is only intermediate knapper
level. Still a pretty scarce point published 
in Prehistoric American Vol. XLI - No. 4,
page 44 and in Lar Hothem's Paleo- Ex: M. Hough
Indian Artifacts, pg. 99 Rogers COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MHPA104 A paper-thin and beautiful light brown flint    Found in Gaines Co., Texas SOLD
Folsom dart point fully fluted on side A, but  by Keith Glasscock  
only showing slight remnants of an older flute
(prior to resharpenings) on side B. The fine
edgework is confined to side A only, where it
has crossed over and eliminated the flute's
original ridge line. Side B shows remnants of
an older impact fracture, which was pressure
flaked back into action, before receiving
another ding to the tip, showing that this point
survived at least 3 lifetimes and probably  
more. A very attractive and scarce type which
literally "tells a story"; published in Prehistoric
American Vol. XLI - No. 4, page 44
Also published in Lar Hothem's Paleo-Indian Ex: M. Hough
Artifacts, pg. 99 Rogers COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
BRPA3 A SUPER NICE, RARE and quite thin but Dawson County, 4,500.00
sturdy glossy off-white and sky-blue/light Nebraska
gray chert Paleo Frederick blade having on the Platte River
perfect symmetry, good usage wear marks
and excellent and intricate paleo flaking Perino COA
patterns. Has light basal grinding and is just a Rogers COA

Perfect and very well made piece ! (High resolution photos are available for the asking, IF you're seriously interested in this piece)

 

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DOPA1 A very nice pinkish gray-brown chert Midwestern area 1,100.00
Clovis having a single flute to side A
  and a slight hafting stop to side B,    
  slightly offset to the right (see photo 4)        
  flaking is fairly thorough on both sides,    
  although side A does have a slight "dip"    
  near the tip (see photo 2) It has nice    
  grinding to the cutting edges at the base,    
  but it has no grinding to the concave basal    
  and this section appears to have sustained    
  ancient damage which was never re-    
  worked, as it is a bit ragged and sharp.    
  Additionally, there is a subtle color change    
  to the host stone covering the entire tip    
  starting at the upper 1/3rd of the surface    
(see photo 4, horizontal brown line) Rogers COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MMPA1 A HUGE light gray and tan chert Paleo butchering blade Recovered in Indiana 325.00
  having mostly percussion flaking patterns on both faces.
Quite a work-horse of a blade, it has a few minor nicks to
it's edges from improper storage, but is otherwise "all there"

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RHPA51 A very unique and quite attractive, semi-translucent honey colored Provenance was vaguely 1,000.00
and red silicified wood Midland dart point. It's well flaked on both specified as being either New
faces and is quite thin. It's highly desert polished and has very  Mexico or N.E. Arizona
unusual minute, parallel abrasion lines on both faces, but isolated to Ex: Don Pabst, Don Potter,
the area of the tip area alone. It has a single step near the upper  Don Meador 
edge on side B, just above the horizontal centerline. (Photo 4) All Stermer COA
in all, quite a superior example of this desirable Paleo type Earthworks COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RHPA54 A quite thin, dark gray chert Midland dart point having    Recovered in  SOLD
numerous, slight steps on both faces caused by the host Searchy Co., AR 1/18
stone's resistance to flaking. It has a slight ancient nick to
one ear and light basal grinding. All in all, not a bad point Ex: Marcus Hays

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
RHPA49 A very nice mottled light Recovered from the now SOLD
brown and gray Edward's famous Wilson County Sand 1/18
Plateau chert Plainview, well pit site in Wilson Co., TX
made with light basal grinding Rogers COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DLPA1 A HUGE and VERY meaty very light gray Hixton sugar quartz Paleo Offered by the original finder who 1,200.00
Bi-pointed Butchering Blade. This one was definitely created for the recovered this beautiful monster in 800.00
"BIG Game" animals. It's pretty well formed with nice horizontal  Jackson Co., WI (Details to buyer)
transverse flaking patterns on side A with the flaking patterns on side
B being more percussion in an random fashion. It has an interesting
through and through Bull's eye inclusion on one end. This one would
definitely make a GREAT Centerpiece to enhance any collection.
Judging from the narrowing at one end, this one was most likely
hafted, and would have made a most intimidating sight.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MBPA17 A very outstanding tan, light brown and rose colored Found in 1850.00
Carter cave flint Paleo Clovis dart point in excellent Madison Co., KY
condition. It shows a facial impact fracture on side B, 
which was re-worked by the ancient knapper to keep
this one serviceable. It has excellent mineralization
and basal grinding and is just one VERY sweet piece Jackson COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MBPA19 A most attractive fairly long mottled tan and yellow flint Paleo Found in NW Colorado 500.00
Meserve having excellent flaking patterns on both faces and by Chester Howard
pressure flaked "flutes" from the base on both sides. It has nice
basal grinding and an unfortunate, slight lateral impact fracture
from the tip, running down a single edge for 3/8". It has a most
interesting lighter egg-shaped pattern on one face (photo 4)
which adds to it's attractiveness.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
JCPA9 An interesting semi-translucent horizontally banded Washoe Co., NV 175.00
duo-flow obsidian Paleo Crescent which shows
traits of being anciently worked down into a hafted
side cutting blade, most likely salvaged when the
crescent form sustained damage to one end

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DIPA1 An absolutely gorgeous horizontally banded gray Recovered in 1,600.00
and brown Reed Springs chert Hell Gap dart  Le Flore Co., OK
point, thoroughly flaked on both faces to a median Ex: Jeff Joseph

MHPA1267 A stubby little orange chert Milnesand dart  Undocumented, 85.00
point, obviously worked down many times probably New Mexico
in ancient times. One auricle is damaged Ex: Michael Hough

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MMPA16 A fairly small (for type) white burlington chert Paleo dart point Only documented as being 80.00
(my opinion is Clovis) showing good ancient mineralization and from the mid-western US,
basal grinding but having MODERN RECHIPPING to the Missouri would be my best
upper 20% of the tip, priced accordingly. educated guess.

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
PA119 A most unusual mottled reddish-brown vertically Recovered in 165.00
banded petrified wood Paleo Crescent having NW Nevada
flaking patterns which are a little rough, crude
and amateurish. It has an ancient lateral shear to
one working end, which appears to have been
anciently reworked (at least at the tip) to put it
back into action. The opposite working end has
a small lateral clip just below the working point

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
JCPA1 A white and cream colored chert Paleo Recovered in 125.00

RHPA47 A mottled off-white and gray-blue chert Plainview Found by Dave Spiller 50.00
blade which has ragged edges from ancient use. The in Gaines Co., TX
basal cavity is also a bit ragged and sharp. (No basal
grinding on this one) Flaking is sparse, hurried and
amateurish, made on a flake and retaining a 25%
vertical flat spot in the middle of side B (photo 4) from
the original flakes surface. An affordable Paleo piece
