I found a napped basalt arrow-head with the point broken off, in a fire-pit at a local campsite, near Vanderhoof. The Carrier Indians of the area did not have archery, so it was an arrow point from the Chilko's, who came up to this area on raiding parties. the raiding parties were to capture women for slaves. I've read, they usually just killed all the men.
Basalt also breeaks on a concoidal fracture line, but it is inferior to both obsidian and flint or chert.

Hey Daryl,
that is really cool...thx for posting..speaking of which--what are you using for a photo hosting sight now days?

As to the Chilko's..I didnt realize they too had slaves..?? with all the new going on the past week about Charlottesville ..I thought it was only whites that were horrible people that had slaves??
