Plainview Point

This week I stumbled across some interesting sites about Plainview points - these are Paleoindian projectile points dated at approximately 10,000-9,000 bc. They are more commonly known as spearheads commonly used to kill buffalo by Native Americans local to this area.
Many tools used for the hunting and cleaning of buffalo have been found in this area. These are usually oblong in shape and very well made with natural flaking. The bases where they would have connected to spears are concave and thinned slightly to fit firmly in the spear shaft. Most are about two to three inches long and approximately one inch in width.
There is evidence that they may have been heat treated through a fire. Most are composed of high quality flints and cherts. They were often reused and resharpened as some had even been used for the purpose of knives.
I think that cultural information like this is important to an area's history and cultural identity.
