BMPA1 A SUPER RARE and VERY attractive multiple fluted Chautauqua County in  12,000.00

Paleo Crowfield point, also known as an eastern folsom for

Western "Upstate" New York 3/8 ON-HOLD
  its superior craftsmanship and thinness. This fine example    
  measures 2-7/8 x 1-5/16. It is made from deep blue, highly    
  patinated onadaga chert.  A write-up from Dr. Gramly states    
  "this point has a small chip that shows the true color of the point".    
  Even with this chip and a hairline crack it still graded a 10+ by    
  Tom Davis !!! This world class paleo lithic gem also comes    
  with a COA from Jerry Dickey and a write-up from Dr. Gramly Ex: John Dickerson,  
  It's my personal opinion that Crowfield points are Leslie Pfieffer  
  10 times as rare as Folsom points, and very few examples and Jeff Joseph  
in any condition have been recovered. Recently added Davis, Dickey
Rogers COA too ! (the vote is unanimous !) AND Rogers COA's 3/8 ON-HOLD

DHPA5 A fairly small (for type) heavily Recovered in the 200.00
river polished blue-gray chert Alvord Desert, OR
"dipper style" Paleo Crescent
which shows traces of having
sustained a lateral shear to one
cutting edge from ancient usage

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DHPA6 A blue-gray chert Paleo Butterfly Recovered in the 185.00
Crescent having nice desert polish, Alvord Desert, OR
2 ancient fire pops (photo 6) and
lateral shears to both cutting edges
(photos 7 & 8) from ancient usage.
For all it's ancient flaws, it's still an
attractive piece which displays well

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DHPA8 A medium brown jasper Paleo Butterfly Recovered in the 225.00
Crescent having a highly unusual "flat" form.    Alvord Desert, OR
Both faces appear to have been formed by
a shearing technology, leaving flat sections
in the middle of each side, but with delicate
pressure flaking around all edges on side
A, and around all edges of side B except
the bottom edge. Quite a unique example
of this highly desirable piece

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DHPA9 Now this one must have been made by the same Recovered in the 150.00
knapper as DHPA8, above. A fairly small (for type)   Alvord Desert, OR
medium gray chert Paleo Butterfly Crescent having a
highly unusual "flat" form. Both faces appear to have
been formed by a shearing technology, leaving flat 
sections in the middle of each side, but with delicate
pressure flaking around all edges on side A, and to 
only the top edge on side B. It has a salvaged lateral
fracture from ancient usage to one cutting end,
which didn't put it out of commission

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DHPA10 A fairly small (for type) and very Recovered in the 175.00
attractive blue-gray chert Paleo Alvord Desert, OR
Crescent, expertly and thoroughly
flaked on both faces and having no 
damage at all. (A rarity for Crescents) 1/17 ON-HOLD

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DHPA11 A fairly nice mottled gray chert Paleo Recovered in the 175.00
Butterfly Crescent having a slight shear to one Alvord Desert, OR
tip and an anciently salvaged opposing tip  
which was rounded off in the salvage process.
It was made on a fairly thick flake, and retains
50% of the original flake's cortex on side B
and 5% on side A (bottom of photo 2).
Flaking patterns are thorough on side A, but
only the edges were flaked on side B 

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DHPA12 A fairly long, slender, heavily river Recovered in the 200.00
polished black chert Paleo Crescent  Alvord Desert, OR
which shows thorough flaking patterns
and an ancient nick to one tip, which 
has been smoothed over with the river
polishing process (photos 6 & 7)

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DHPA16 A fairly thick medium gray chert "hump Recovered in the 225.00
back" style Paleo 1/4 moon Crescent. It's  Alvord Desert, OR
well flaked on both faces with only a spider
bite to one tip. It's a little thicker than most
Crescents but is still an attractive item

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DHPA17 An undersized small brown jasper Paleo Crescent   Recovered in the 130.00
which is lacking pressure flaking on the surfaces, Alvord Desert, OR
having mostly pressure flaking around the edges. It
appears to have been anciently salvaged (anciently
re-chipped around the edges) after having
sustained a serious surface shear to the face of
side A, starting from one tip and ending with a
ledge right in the middle of side A (indicated by
the white chalky line just below center in photo 2)

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DHPA18 A fairly small, very attractive yellow with  Recovered in the 175.00
splotches of white chert almost uni-faced Paleo Alvord Desert, OR
Butterfly Crescent. I like this one, it was made 
on a curved flake and retains most of the flake's
original surface on side B, having pressure
flaking only around the periphery of this side.
Side A is more thoroughly flaked and shows
nice desert polish. One tip has an ancient nick,
but with this color, it's still a beautiful piece 

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DHPA19 A fairly nice bluish-gray chalcedony  Recovered in the 210.00
Paleo Crescent which is "all there" but Alvord Desert, OR
having an irregular shape cause by
multiple ancient salvage re-workings;
It was obviously used A LOT

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DHPA20 A very pleasant mottled gray Recovered in the 220.00
chert Paleo Butterfly Crescent Alvord Desert, OR
which has double lateral shearing
to one edge and an ancient nick
from the tip of the opposing edge

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
BRPA3 A SUPER NICE, RARE and quite thin but Dawson County, 4,000.00
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)

MHPA108 An absolutely gorgeous fairly thin mottled Found in Burnet Co., Texas, 1,300.00
blue-gray Edwards Plateau chert Midland it comes with a Taylor COA
having superior horizontal transverse and something which I've
flaking patterns and very very intricate never seen before, a Perino
micro-edgework. It has an unfortunate certificate of origin, having
nick to one blade edge near the tip, and been in Greg Perino's
the right side of the tip also has a smaller, personal collection as well.
less noticeable nick. It comes with an 
detailed history of ownership. This was the
very best Midland from Michael Hough's Ex: Perino
personal collection. Ex: M. Hough

MHPA103 A very nice tan and white Edward's Plateau Found S.E. of Seminole 750.00
chert Folsom dart point, fluted on both  in Gaines Co., TX
faces, although the flute on face B is slightly
off-center. The edgework isn't as fine as
Folsom edgework normally is and it's
missing one tang and appears to have a
shaved section running along the right edge
from just above the existing tang to about
the centerline of the blade, most likely
caused from a reactionary impact fracture.
It's still a beauty though and a pretty rare
point type, published in Prehistoric
American Vol. XLI - No. 4, page 44 Ex: Sam Weir
Also published in Lar Hothem's Paleo-Indian Ex: M. Hough
Artifacts, pg. 99 Perino COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MHPA104 A paper-thin and beautiful light brown flint    Found in Gaines Co., 750.00
Folsom dart point fully fluted on side A, but New Mexico
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
MHPA107 A very interesting, "pointy" brown and red Found near 750.00
jasper Folsom. It has a full flute on side A   Deming in Luna Co., 
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
MHPA105 A paper-thin blue-gray Georgetown flint Folsom   Found in Lynn Co., TX 750.00
showing a single flute to each face, but with side by David "JJ" Burrow
B's flute somewhat diminished by secondary
pressure flaking (re-sharpening) at the top right
corner of the flute. The micro-edgework is 
good, but not as consistent on side B as it is on
side A. The tip was anciently re-worked after  Ex: Dowell
having been wounded in action. Just a neat little Ex: Lewis
scarce point, published in Prehistoric American Ex: M. Hough
Vol. XLI - No. 4, page 44 Jackson COA

MHPA684 A fairly meaty medium brown jasper Provenance undocumented, 750.00
Goshen having very thorough  but was in Michael's

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
MHPA133 A very thin tan-gray Edwards Found in SOLD
Plateau chert Midland dart point. Hale Co., TX
One ear was anciently sheared off 
and it has a very slight ancient nick
to one edge right at the hafting line.
Flaking patterns are thorough on
both sides, although not really  
"superior". Published in Lar Hothem's Ex: M. Hough
Paleo-Indian Artifacts, pg. 193 Perino COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MHPA303 A very fascinating and colorful light orange Found in 225.00
and gray chert Folsom which appears to  New Mexico
  have been anciently worked-down quite a    
  bit as the double flutes' "real estate" has    
  been infringed upon substantially, although    
  obvious traces of both flutes still remain.    
  The secondary edgework is thorough,    
  although not of the micro-flaking variety.    
  The tip is gone and shows a narrow     
  channel from an impact fracture on side B.    
  Lastly, the tip of one tang is missing. (Like    
what else could go wrong !) Ex: Michael Hough

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DGPA1 A fairly nice, although a tad on the Recovered at  175.00
crude side, purplish-burgundy Lake Buena Vista
chert Paleo Crescent which still in Kern Co., CA
has traces of asphaltum on side A
from it's original binding !

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
JDPA1 A medium sized pinkish-red agate Paleo Undocumented, 135.00
Crescent which has been HEAVILY Great Basin region
patinated over with a desert bleached
white, gray and blue coating. It has nice 
grinding and a few edge nicks which show
the true color of the original host stone.
It's a little bit on the crude side, but truly
shows it's great antiquity with desert polish

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
MHPA709 A mottled brown jasper Goshen Found in El Paso Co., CO 200.00
blade having a substantial nick
from one edge. Published in Lar
Hothem's Paleo-Indian Artifacts, Ex: Michael Hough

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
JDPA2 A bit of a plain Jane mottled blue- Found in Texas 85.00
gray and tan chert Goshen blade

edges are a tad on the rough side 
from ancient usage wear. Flaking is
thorough, but not very spectacular

MHPA300 A paper-thin Edwards Plateau chert Midland Undocumented, 35.00
body (minus the tip and minus the base)  most likely
  What can I say about something that's mostly western Texas  
  not there ?... It has nice typical transverse    
  flaking patterns and micro-edgework to all 4       
  edges as a signature from a master knapper.    
  Additionally, one edge has a sheared section,    
  running for 3/8" along the edge (best seen on    
  the bottom right side of photo2 and on the    
bottom left side of photo 4) Ex: Michael Hough

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DWPA1 A very nice glossy tan and cream Found in 200.00
colored burlington chert Hell Gap  Sac River drainage in
having thorough flaking patterns and Cedar Co., MO
nice basal grinding. It has a slight
nick to one corner of the base, but
other than that, it's "all there" Ex: D.W. Brooks

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DWPA3 An interesting, extremely thin Silicified Found in 1933 in 300.00
sand Scottsbluff dart point having  Cherry Co, Nebraska
nice basal grinding and good, thorough
flaking patterns which are somewhat
subdued due to the nature of the
hoststone. Quite an exceptional piece
Please Note: The Jeb Taylor COA lists
this one as a silicified sand (Spanish
Diggings) Goshen/Plainview, but I've Ex: Stebbing
seen other Scottie's made from this  Ex: Brooks
material, so that's what I'm calling it, from Ex: Middaugh
my experience Taylor COA

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DWPA4 A fairly meaty, somewhat broad and Found in 100.00
quite attractive orange chert Agate  Autauga Co.,
Basin blade. It has nice basal grinding, Alabama

advanced knapper, by all appearances,
it served its purpose well Ex: Brooks

Item: Type: Provenance: Price
DWPA5 A very well made and quite attractive Found in 350.00
light brown chert Plainview having Howard Co., TX
oblique transverse flaking patterns. 
Thoroughly flaked with the exception
