This one was the very first I found while hiking. What caught my attention was the apparent multiple strikes on it.

You have found a couple of hammer stones and some chipping debris.

You can expect a lot more debris than finished product, plus fuckups like snapping an unfinished point in half.

Sometimes one half or the other could be salvaged, so...

Sounds like your guy found a nice spot to sit and take a knapp.

OP here... I noticed too lots of unfinished or "fuck ups" in the site. Not a single finished one was found.

Also, some where lying there on the desert soil, but others where stuck into 5-meter cliffs. My guess, rain floods have been uncovering them from the cliffs.

... and this one. I found the three in different areas surrounding the first fuck ups I found.

A lot of people think these are 'arrowheads' but they are usually atlatl points from much older Indian groups.

They even have an atlatl throwing competition out at Seminole Canyon state park.

The Trans-Pecos region has some of the best rock art in the world.

Texas is a very artifact rich place. All of these I were found in west or south Texas. I love looking for them. Any quail or dove hunt ends up in being an arrowhead hunt for me.
