Scott Crawford, Carrollton, Texas2About The AuthorFrom the time when I was 13 or14 in the forested foothills of thewestern Oregon Willamette Valleyand found my first arrowhead, anobsidian “bird point,” in a field mydad had plowed for an experimental crop of maize, I have alwayswondered about the people whoused these stone tools, how theylived, and what became of them.Some friends had collected Indianartifacts in the desert areas ofeastern Oregon and my brothersand I all enjoyed looking at theirdisplay of those arrowheads. So,to find some points of our own, onthe family land, was particularlyexciting. After that, whenever wewere working in the bean fields,or tending livestock, or movingirrigation pipes, or just wanderingacross the back 40, we alwayswould keep an eye out for bitsand pieces of worked stone, toolsand points, to add to our growingcollection.Today, I still keep an eye out forremnants of past cultures. And asthe world has changed so much,I can now do much, but not all, ofthat wandering and learning onthe internet, on the world wideweb. That’s how I came to becollecting arrowheads on the web,and why I began to put togetherthis newsletter, for others acrossthe land who also are interestedin “ Arrowhead Collecting On TheWeb”.FSCp.s. There is still a time and aplace for criss crossing a plowedfield, or walking along the banksof a stream, just to see what youmight find. Knowing where to lookand how, is part of what we planto explore in the pages of “Arrowhead Collecting On The Web.”Read, learn, find, enjoy.p.p.s.

ACOTWTMArrowhead Collecting On The WebThe Hunt For Artifacts.Regards from frozen Denmark.A Note From Tom Holck.December 15, 2012Dear friend and collector,Please enjoy this little story.Look the pictures in a range from# 1.Also a Christmas “Battleaxe”picture.The story was:Battleaxe dating around Christmas:This one I got together with a littlenice farmer collection. No records.At first sight it looks like a smallbattleaxe. It is made in the knowngreenstone, brought to Denmarkby the glacier during the Ice Age,from Sweden and Norway.Small axes is known as child-axes,maybe ancient toy or grave goodsfor a child or woman.Small axes in Amber is also knownas pieces of jewellery.A closer examination show that,the gnome might be at stake! Theitem is newmade. It is a “woodenshoe” made for a pixie-doll. Suchsmall shoes is known, made inlead or pewter.A part of the surface looks ancientthough, with trace from grinding.Maybe the maker used a brokenfragment from an ancient battleaxeto make this shoe.?!If there have been 2 of them, or theproject turned out so difficult andtime-consuming, that only this onewas made, we don’t know, this isonly known by the goblins.Merry Christmas.Tom HolckDenmark(.continues on p. 4)Volume IV, Number 113November 2012

I lost most of them andnow in my older years, I’m 68 andretired, I began collecting them.I have over a thousand pieces in several shadow boxes, most found aroundLaredo, Texas in Webb Co.About five years ago I went to Killeen,TX and took knapping lessons withBill Metcalfe.

ACOTWTMArrowhead Collecting On The WebThis is one arrowhead with aphoto of each side. Is this backand red obsidian.what is thewhite color?P.S. I saw your books on GlassButte, my family used to campover there every summer. I founda arrowhead over there but figuredit was probably carved by modernman. Can you tell by looking at it,I can send a photo. I would certainly appreciate your help on boththese matters. Thanks!Elaine BeyerDecember 28, 2012Hi Elaine,e-Mail Letters:December 28, 2012Subject: Arrowhead question?I found this arrowhead in our garden this summer after my husbandhad freshly tilled it.We live up the Santiam Canyoneast of Salem, Oregon not far fromthe North Santiam River. Can youtell me what age / era and whattype it is?I see that you used to live in theWillamette Valley so perhaps youare familiar with this type of arrowhead.Volume IV, Number 11Thanks for sending the photos of thearrowhead you found up the Santiam.I grew up in Crawfordsville, over onthe Kalapooya River. This is a verynice arrowhead, made of some beautiful stone. Probably a regional jasperor agate. How large is the piece? Thiscan help determine the cultural type,which will give us an idea to the age.Also, I would like to see a photo ofyour point from eastern Oregon. Itmay be new, it may be old. Looking atboth sides can help determine that, aswell. In the meantime, I will check onsome possible types of points for thisone from the Santiam.Scott12December 28, 2012Elaine,I think it is more likely a Jasper or Agate “Bullhead” dart or knife from theMiddle Archaic period, 4000 to 3500years ago. The other, less likely, possibility is that it could be a “Wendover”dart point or knife, which comes fromthe Early to Middle Archaic Period,7000 to 5000 years ago (BeforePresent),however, they are more commonlyfound in eastern Oregon and the GreatBasin. It could also be a “MerrybellType II” dart point, which can alsohave the broad side/corner notches androunded, expanding base with groundedges at the base. These date to theLateArchaic period to Transitional Phase(2500-1750 B.P.) in your region. So,my best guess would be “MerrybellType II” dart point, with the nextmost likely type being the “Bullhead”dart or knife. They are both quitecommon in western Oregon and theWillamette Valley area,.ScottPublisher’s e-mail .comNovember 2012
