My heart soars like a hawk to think that it put meat on a fire for some hungry Comanches hunting on horseback or maybe an Apache hunter who snuck up on a mammal worthy of a meal. Probably made a perfect shot right behind the shoulder and his people ate well that day.

Strange how what is now Texas has changed in the past few hundred years.

Gifted by an American Indian on June 23, 2018, eastern Edwards County, Texas.

Have the strange urge to watch Little Big Man. A great western and also political film, due another thread another day.

Probably predates the Comanches by many years.

A few thousand years before horses

The history of equidae in North American is more complex than that.

The only problem with snake women is that they couplate with horses. Which is strange to me.

I stand corrected!
I sent the pic to a friend of mine in Alpine who's studied points for years.
He said " ..... looks like a preform, not a finished product. Most likely 3-600 yrs old."
So, I was wrong it is a "historic " era point not "archaic."
Congrats, you were right on who may have made it. It just never was finished, ergo not used.

My Uncles best friend and his wife own property just out of Victoria on the Guadalupe. Years ago, She was getting her nails done one day and overheard another woman discussing arrowheads that had been delivered in a load of gravel they had ordered.

When she asked who had delivered the gravel, she picked up her phone and called her husband, telling him to stop any further shipments. When they went to the property, and looked around, where the heavy equipment had been digging, there were arrowheads and artifacts everywhere.

They contacted a local geologist and the archeological departments at Texas A&M and t.u. A dig was began and it turned out to be one of the oldest sites in North America. It is incredible, they found tools, pottery, & a grave yard. Their collection is on loan to the museum of the Gulf Coast at Victoria College for now.

I've been there a few times and took my daughter, who has always been interested in archeology. She was in heaven hanging out and learning from those guys. A few years ago, she participated in a dig in Belize for a couple of months and they made some very interesting finds.....

If there is one arrowhead there, there are more. Keep looking
