was introduced in this section of North America somewhere around 2400 years after the projectile point that I found the broken base of was made. I have, of course, over 100 of them that are works of art, made by true craftsmen. I've loaned some to a few of the best regional museums, including at some of the universities that I've spoken at. In my younger years, I had some frpm those universities assist me on excavationsm and used their labs -- for free -- to analyze organic remains.
There have been a few times when I was working in the field that a tiny chihuahua would bark furiously at me. I ignored it. I mean, why would anyone want to argue with a chihuahua? They pose no threat, other than possibly being annoying.
