This is from Jean, Amy’s mom. I want to give you some follow-up info on our arrowhead search with an anthropology class from ASU with Professor Cameron Gokee. First, it was delightful to have the students on the farm. They brought such enthusiasm and energy. Sadly they found only one projectile but they kindly labeled all of the projectiles we have found over the years. First I learned that the correct name for what we called arrowheads is projectiles or points . Most are actually spearheads.
The projectiles on our farm date from 11,000BCE to 500BCE, that’s 10,500 years. Someone asked me to post photos so here are photos of the different eras we have found .
1.The earliest 2 projectiles are possible Hardaway/Clovis points. They are from the Paleo Indian period from 11,000 BCE to 9,500 BCE . See first photo
2. Kirk- Palmer corner-notched points
9000bce to 8000bce
3. Morrow Mountain middle archaic period
6000bce to 5000bce
4.Guilford Lancedale points middle to late archaic 3500 BCE to 2500bce
5.Savannah River stemmed points late archaic 3000bce to 2000bce
6. Otarra/Savannah stemmed points
Early woodland period 1000bce to 500bce
Most of our points are Savannah River stemmed points.
