I always wondered how an elongated contracting base on a point was hafted on a shaft. Obviously the people that made those had a reason.

That type base hafts well with a hollow rivercane shaft and pitch glue.
Yep. I think that's the deal with points like Morrow Mountains and such. I've tried hafting them into rivercane atlatl dart shafts, and it works great.
HB, you have any pics of doing that? I find lots of MM points and would like to see how they were used.
Thanks
Look like very nicely-made Morrow Mt. points to me. I said this elsewhere on a recent post but, again, my understanding is that there are no known Adena sites in Georgia. The furthest south I know of for Adena would be those found in the Kentucky/West Virginia region.
A friend of mine has a textbook one that he found in SC.
I guess it ain't out of the question for a relatively advanced, riverine society like the Adena to deposit artifacts a state or two down stream. And their "trading complex" or whatever would indeed have been much broader than their actual physical range of settlements up on the old Ohio and Kaintuckee. Cool. I guess these really could be Adena points.
