Arrowheads

Man, that brings back memories!

Back in the day when I had lots of time on my hands and spent most iof it hiking and canoeing, I found a lot of points, both arrow and knife. We also have a lot of shell middens (basically, indian trash piles) around this part of Florida, so I have quite a bit of pot shards from various time periods stashed away somewhere. I need to get up in the attic and dig them out!

According to the info I have Clovis points date back anywhere from 10000-13000 years ago. I'll have to get a pic of it.

When I was a kid I found a really nice arrowhead in the creek over at my parents house in VA. I think it still may be in my old rock collection at my parent house.

I've only found 3 in my searches for arrowheads. One of those was a very old clovis point. According to a pro and a few ID books I've looked at it could very well date back to the ice age....which is pretty damn old.

Considering that I live in a very interesting geological area, it's very possible that it could be that old. Unlike most of Northern Illinois, glaciers didn't completely flatten the landscape, leaving us the Southern Illinois Ozarks.
