I recently found your site.. One of the very best I've encountered.
For over 45 years, I have had a passion for things past that connect all folks. .As a boy on our Maryland farm, I hunted 'arroheads' in the plowed fields and over the years, made up a fair collection covering late woodland back to paleo points for 'atlatl' darts and sprears. I have made my own wooden bows and arrows for fun and hunting for over 40 years also.

I go  from the selection and cutting of the wood for bows and arrows thru  the knapped points.. Lithic reduction as it connects to the artistry and functionality of our predecessors fascinates me.. I really enjoy the 'experimental archaeology, from making & using atlatls and darts to bows and arrows, stone knives, adzes, axes.. Amazing how practical well-done stone
tools are..

Anyhow, Here are several pictures of my small collection from our farm in central
Maryland..Rhyolite, quartz, quartzite, basalt, a bit of flint mostly.. Largest projectile points
and knives in the shadow boxes are 4.25" long..

Also included are several pix of some recent work done by me, pressure and percussion
flaking.. These are tools that will see use by me as hunter..
Alas, the farm has long been sold, and is mostly subdivided into housing developments and strip malls.. I have not been back there for many years.. it is too troubling to see what has happened to the land..

So much history has been destroyed by 'greed-haste in the name of progress'..
Best regards, Jim
