| Dear Friend,
Have you ever found, or do you know others who have found Pipe Creek bifaces? I am doing a paper on them for the Southern Texas Archeological Assoc. on this type of artifacts and I am trying to determine the distribution. David Calame, Sr. |

Pipe Creek Biface
These arrow point - sized bifaces have a single , deep, corner notch, and workmanship ranges from crude to exceptionally fine. The longest lateral edge is straight or slightly convex and often has some serrations. The biface is usually found in association with Edwards points suggesting that they exist in Late Prehistoric context. Specific use of the tool is not known. Known distribution is south central Texas. (Turner - Hester 1985, "A Field Guide to Stone Artifacts of Texas Indians",
