Featured in this lot is this 2 1/4" Collins Expanding Stem Point circa 1500 to 1200 B.P. and dated from the Woodland Period and previously displayed in the Tombstone Western heritage Museum; Provenance: From the Tombstone Western Heritage Museum in Tombstone, Arizona. Collins Expanding Stem Projectile Points are a distinctive type of chipped stone tool, recognizable by their broad, expanding stem that widens toward the base and their well-defined shoulders. When knapped from a light brown chert, the material gives them a warm, earthy tone that highlights the fine flaking patterns along their blade edges. The chert’s smooth texture allows for sharp, durable edges, and the expanding stem design would have provided a secure hafting surface for attachment to shafts. These points reflect both functional efficiency and skilled craftsmanship in prehistoric toolmaking. The condition of this projectile point is preserved with a chip to the expanding stem but otherwise shows a preserved condition. The measurements of this projectile point is 2 1/4" x 3/4". The collective weight of this projectile point is 7g.
