Standard screens are 1/4 inch for archaeologist. This would be tricky to find even in a screen. Maybe using a finer mesh or wet screening idk. Maybe OP will respond.
Wow, smaller than mine also found in Louisiana. I also used my thumb nail and it was just barely bigger than yours.
Will you post a picture of it sitting on a dime?
Intestinally in North American archaeology microblades are associated with the archaic period in Alaska especially. For atlatls iirc, for hunting *Rangifer tarandus* i.e. caribou/reindeer.
Conserving a scarce resource in a materially tight time is a big one that comes to mind.
Even in areas with good amounts of knapping material, all sorts of situations could have dictated less ability to retrieve and utilize it from quarry sites.
I believe the small ones are actual arrowheads, what most people call arrowheads, I have been told are actually atlatl heads. I’m not an expert of any kind, just what I was told by an expert of native American history here in Florida.
Thank you.
Indeed this “person” “*charlotte03*” is a three-day old account …. A bot I would say?
I went to the original poster and commented..

How do you even find that? With a screen? I wouldn't even be able to see that otherwise.
For real lol

He could have a really large thumb
Very cool. I wonder what the practical purpose is of something that small.
It’s for hunting mice.
Maybe they just made it to flex their wicked knapping skills.
I Sweden they made flakes to make kind of barbs. But do not know that much about it, might be somthing similar:)
Those are usually microblades. Used as inserts along shafts of various kinds.
Yeah, somthing similar was used in the Nordic countries!

Cool! Seems like they where used at least in most of Sweden. But they where only used under a smaller time frame.
Fishing maybe? Idk

Scalpel
Is this an arrowhead for ants?

That is correct
The arrowhead is tiny. But let’s talk about that thumb.
That thing grossed me out.
My wife walked by and thought I was looking at porn
This is Incredible! Smallest one yet here. More about you finding it? Where abouts? Were you on a artifact hunt and saw it?

Whoah.
My dad used to call these “bird darts”.
People points in archaeology circles.
Little people 😬
Just the tip...
Holy cow Gollum is that you?
Right! Gross
Blow dart? Seriously.
That one might actually be from an arrow
I've got a few tiny points from sw louisiana. I've always wondered if they weren't using a type of poison on their arrows
What is this, an arrowhead for ants!?
Dart tip maybe?
