DRF, have you found different points from different time periods,, Aka paleo, archaic, woodland! Mississippian, ??
I have a fantastic occupation site,,, I’ve found ALL of the above time periods there.. I have 2 Clovis points I’ve found there.. and mostly archaic time periods. I don’t find as much woodland and missippian stuff there. But my absolute favorite is a Cahokia point.. had the very tip broken off.

How do you explain so many used up knives looking identical? Just a question I was wondering. Something else I wonder about... why is it everyone says that they look for chips and find arrow heads... but like how is that explained? I can't wrap my mind around why there would be people standing on a rise (to be able to see out I assume / dry) knapping arrowheads (making chips) and finding whole arrow heads there??? Like why would they stand there, make them, and throw multiple of them on the ground for people to find in the same spot later... like enough of them for everyone to say if you find chips look for arrow heads? How can that come to be? Has anyone ever did any real life testing in the modern day with this type of arrow heads? I just wonder how well they penetrate, if they were used more than once, etcc. The vast majority of “arrowheads” are used up knives.

Ohio, we all lose our tools no matter what time period. Imagine someone finding a set of truck keys in a thousand years… if they have not completely corroded. More broken artifacts are usually found than complete ones on occupation sites. Axes, celts were usually too dang heavy to carry around… so they made new ones when they set up somewhere else.
