          Do you think it could be a Refugio knife? It appears to have some parallel flaking on one site and random flaking on the other... Without seeing it in person I am just guessing the parallel was just accidental. Also don't see any real overshot flakes (which occur on a lot of large thin paleo blades).

            Yes, I think it could be as well as a number of other Archaic knife types. Now for the overshot, Im not sure it wasn't origionally overshot and the resharpening eliminated a lot of that, The face of the blade is pretty flat. Just hard to say without a base or context.

              These are mine, just need clarification on what they are.

                The pink birdie looks like an Edwards and the white is a scallorn. There is also a perdenales (u shaped back), a bunch of tools/scrapers, some tortugas (triangles) and what looks like some Darls (narrower side notched points). Also, some that can't be identified, not enough there.

                If you have one in particular you would like identified, post it seperate or point out which one and will try to ID.

                    These two in particular I would like to know what they are if possible. The slender one has a left hand bevel on the point and a right hand bevel on the hafting area. Any idea what tribes where in Colorado county around that time?

                      I've posted this pic before but these are just a few of my favorite surface finds from Aguilares, Texas. My uncle found this this really cool rock that was turned into a snake head on the ranch, I'll have to get a pic of it but do any of y'all know what the purpose of it might be?

                        Guys--you're killing me!!!! Left a lease on Hwy 97 east of Cotulla 'bout 5-6 years ago and haven't found a point since then.

                          Its hard to put an exact type on those from the pics. It appears both are broken? I can say they are both far older than any named tribes. I would venture they are early archaic. A minimum of 6,000 years old and probably older. It also appears the fatter one is upside down. It looks to me that it is a broken blade since what you are viewing as a point is ground. this would indicate that its actually the base of the blade and maybe a Lerma.

                            Not sure on the snake head, would live to see it though.


                            As for the points from left to right: perdiz, frio, toyah, maybe Starr or matamoros, matamoros, and frio.

                              Yep, I would agree with what Garguy said.

                                Its about the size of my palm and I you can make out the eyes, nose, and fangs.

                                Its pretty much like this
