Garza Points

The Garza people, roving hunters, lived here before 1500 A.D. Thin, triangular arrow points 2 to 4 centimeters long, of fine workmanship with a central basal notch and deeply serrated edges, were discovered and named here at site 41GR40, an archeological highway salvage dug in 1959 by the South Plains Archeological Society. With these fine, thin arrow points, left near 6 hearths for cooking, were found 238 stone and bone artifacts: awls, wolf teeth pendants, tubular bone beads, chipped stone knives, scrapers, drills, choppers, and 3 types of arrow points.
