Indian Arrowhead, Far West, North American, Possible Fremont or Costal Cotton Wood Point, Displayed in Rikers Box
$55.00
Based on documentation found inside the Rikers Box this point is displayed in, this piece was collected "in the area of Newspaper Rock in S. E. Utah". The date of collection is not stated, but based on the statement that it was the grandparents of a person named John Hilde, my best guess would be 1950's. The paper suggests the point was created by the Fremont Culture. Documentation is attributed to comparison with photo's in a book by Lar Nothem, pg. 276. I do not have this resource. My search through "Indian Arrowheads" by Cooper, Rowe and Bennett suggest it could also possibly be a Coastal Cotton Wood. It is definitely lancolet in shape and comes from the far west region, but it is not large, which is the source of my reservations in calling this a Fremont point. Coastal Cotton Woods come from the same area, are the same shape but are classed as small to medium in size, which this one is. I leave it to those much more knowledgeable in this area to determine its classification. I purchased this from a family estate sale, it was in a box of things simply labeled "artifacts" and the family had no real information on it. It was the curious note written on the base of the Rikers box that drew me to this piece. The Rikers Box is included.
The point itself is approx. 1 7/8 inches long, 5/8 inch across at the widest point and approx. 1/8 inch wide. The Rikers box is approx. 3 1/4 inches long, 2 5/8 inches wide and 1 inch deep. Please carefully review photos for full perspective.
