Looks like only one is intact. The others are just pieces.
FYI
Solutreans maybe.
Those old timers got around more than we once thought; on land, water and ice. I think the ancestors of modern native Americans came from Asia, Europe and Africa. The European and African DNA having been more or less bred out.
Maybe Solutrean, but I don’t know. None of the Solutrean points shown on Wikipedia looked close to these. The intact point in the article looked more similar to a Clovis point.
Quite interesting.
Neolithic man during the last ice age migrated over a sheet of ice for thousands of miles to settle in America. That sheet of ice reached from the Bering Sea and North Asia all the way down to at least central California.
It would be interesting to know at what latitude the ocean was liquid, and whether some abandoned the ice for canoes to continue south.
And most of all, why they did it.
Another stranded time traveller.
DNA shows the Solutrean hypothesis to be invalid.
There were big, fierce predators everywhere 15,000 years ago.
Everywhere.
Especially on the ice.

Thanks MtnClimber.
Who’s’s to say that these weren’t
made by the Clovis clan, by a
visionary who could chisel out
a little bit of a different style
than everybody else was using.
We all modify our weapons to our
liking and style.
migration along the eastern South American coast shows austral/melanesian dna. The Mayans of the Yucatan had a main god who was a blond with blue eyes who came from the sea and returned (lives in) the sea. it would not be beyond imagination to think of migration of a sea-faring peoples north along the east coast of South America into Central America, along Texas and possibly up the Mississippi valley, Florida and across the Caribbean, even north of there, along the US east coast. perhaps settling from east to west? or Texas west? Consider Oregon:

The Black Current flows from Japan to South America and from there other currents push up to the Southern US
Exactly. Sometimes the archeologists come up with the wildest who done it scenarios where common sense says that anyone could have done it. Look at pink camo weapons. Perfect example of some dimwit wanting to make a statement. Cavemen had dimwits too.
When they find a bunch of these in one place, it is usually the location where these were made. So, what you are seeing are the “seconds.”
The really good ones would be used, and not kept with the crappy broken ones.
Because so much water was caught up in the vast, mile or more thick ice sheets, the sea level was almost 400 fet lower than it is today. There was no Bering Sea. It was land. There was no ice sheet over this area as it was too dry. So Northern Siberia and China to Alaska was one huge treeless tundra.
The Cordilleran North American Ice Sheet started towards Eastern Alaska down through California and Colorado. The Laurentian North American Ice Sheet was the biggest, and went from most of Canada to Eastern Dakota all the way to almost the Ohio river valley to New York and up the coast to Newfoundland.
The earliest Americans came from Asia in boats along the Pacific coast all the way down to South America. However, since the sea level rose back up hundreds of feet after all the ice melted and drowned out these sites and well never find them. But some fishing vessels dragging trawl nets along the Pacific coast have found spearpoints, arrow heads and other man made objects in certain areas (Coastal British Columbia, Washington State, California and Ecuador.)
So these would be from the people the “Native Americans” slaughtered as they moved in and took their land?
