Notes from Mike Michlovic 2023:
The points in this case are Middle to Late Archaic forms. They probably date from about 4500-2000 years ago (2500 BC – AD 1). Several of the elongate and unnotched items would be classified as bifaces. As with most of the points in the museum collection, these artifacts show evidence of heavy use and re-working. Many cannot be classified because they have been so heavily modified from use. It is worth remembering that artifacts found at archaeological sites were probably discarded because they were no longer useful.
