I am SO stinking tired!!!

[dean]

On top of working full time, I have to edit a film I have little passion for after slogging through another project recently, PLUS I feel like I'm a little sick. 

PFFFT.  Its midnight.  My plans to do work are now gone.  Ah well the weekend is upon me [what I have to work saturday too?  BOOOOOOOOOOOO]

So yes, I'm tired.

A whole day on the lake.  Twelve complete arrowheads.  New motor=awesome!
But the winds roared at 30 mph or better all day, and I was getting slapped in the face by waves constantly.  My whole body hurts now!!!


(But it's a GOOD tired!!!)

I'm assuming you looked offshore for the arrowheads, perhaps in the more shallow parts of the lake?  The reason  I'm asking is when I lived in Asbury NJ along the Muscenetcong river, we always found arrowheads in stone beds along the shore where the water was clearer and more shallow.

The particular peoples that inhabited New Jersey were the Lenni Lenape, an
Algonquin-speaking people (as most of the Eastern Woodlands were, save for the 6 Iroquoian nations of New York and the Susquehannock of Western Pennsylvania.) 

The Lenni Lenape were also known as "Delawares" by the settlers because they lived along the Delaware river in PA.

I believe there is a tribe of Delawares living in Texas, are there not? If their totem animal is the turtle, then they're the same peoples.

In my part of Texas, during historic times, we had Caddoes, Wichitas, Wacos, Tawakonis, and Cherokee.  However, most of the artifacts we find are well over a thousand years old, and we have no idea what tribes existed or what languages were spoken then, because they left us no written records.
Here are the points I found Friday, though:



And one really good one my partner found:



And my beautiful Water Falcon, in the midst of its transformation from The Water Turkey:

VERY nice, Indy! 

The large one in the bottom row (third from the end)
indeed appears to have pre-Eastern woodland Algonquin workmanship. The reason I say is because my aunt Dolores hunts the fields on her property in Virginia and she found a piece exactly like this one, only it was black flint, and the books say it's pre-Eastern Woodland Algonquin work.

The reason the later pieces had "shoulder notches" was a matter of necessity as they found out that they stay on better.

It's indeed sad that there was no written history of the peoples of the Americas. One piece of "written" history that is always in question by our Tri-State area scientists is the Lenni Lenape "Walum Olum" which is written upon tree bark, detailing a journey from a cold, harsh place to a place of climate and plenty.  Bering Straits "land bridge" theory, maybe?

Some say the artwork is manufactured, as the heiroglyphs upon it make the story "too romantic". Like most mysteries, it's tantalizing and always up for analysis.

Nice haul, indy! Sadly, I haven't looked for a point in about two years.

That's just sad.   
But there will always be a seat in the Water Falcon just for you!!!
