According to the state (that has worked this site) the Perdiz points are about 400 years old. There are older Perdiz in Texas but these are the younger variety. </div> <bR> <div> The point type below may be a Guerro as the finder (Bill LaFrance) suggested. The Guerro was the last flint arrow point made in Texas. Seeing how the Perdiz are of the younger class then it makes sense that this piece was made in that or a later time period. </div> <div> <IMG SRC="1e25e070.jpg" border=0 width="350" height="263" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="1e45e070.jpg" border=0 width="350" height="263" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> Again, becuase of the younger age of some of these artifacts we began finding bone awls.
