cant Remember who, what ph outfitter it was in africa, think it was up north maybe Zimbabwe, but they had some amazing dino tracks in riverbed bedrock ,big 3 toed tracks, was on u tube .
Wow, what could they have killed with an arrowhead that small and primitive?I think most true knapped Pre-Colombian arrow points are in the 1” to 1 1/4” range. Makes sense because recovered bows would be in proportion to a relatively small arrow and point.
First pic shows two “average” arrow points from here in SW Colorado and seem to be average representatives of most all I’ve found in Western US. The point on far right is tiny, by far the smallest I’ve ever found and is about 1/2”. It shows it was damaged then another notch added after the damage so it could again be hafted to a shaft,
The second photo shows an average SW US arrow point with an original forged English arrow point ca 1200-1300… Robin Hood eraSize perspective makes sense because the English longbow was so much larger, of much greater draw poundage (100-150 lbs) than pre-Columbian bows of the Western Hemisphere.
