Arrowhead/artifact and fossil help

[hog smacker]

Ok so arrowheads aren’t really my area of expertise but I think they are cool.

I recently had a friend pass away and this collection was left to me and I was wondering if anyone has any further info on any of this, if they were used for special things etc. I know that there are some experts in this subject on the green screen so please school me on arrowheads and artifacts.

My friend used to live in Arizona and I’m pretty sure that’s where most or all of this came from...but maybe it didn’t I don’t know. None of this will ever be for sale so any info is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I can't help with ID but I will say that you have some cool artifacts there!

I have forgotten half the names since my classes back in the early 1990s. Thanks!


As for the arrow heads,...

Good calls. I'll add mollusk and possibly fossilized cactus to the fossil list.

As for the artifacts, I see lots of dart points (atl atl), some pre-forms, a knife or three and a scraper or two. The rock with the hole may have been for straightening arrow shafts or as a tool for starting fires. There's also a pendant and some kind of tooth/tool. The round rock in the bowl is a mano. The bowl is pretty cool too for as good of shape as it is in. You have been given quite a nice little collection.
