AGEE POINT
MILLER CO., ARKANSAS
STEVE LYONS
COLLECTION
This Agee point was found several years ago in a cache with several other
examples on the Crenshaw site in Miller County, Arkansas. The man who
found it, Mr. Rayburn, is also the owner of the site. This Agee point was
made from white Arkansas novaculite and it’s an excellent example of
this fairly rare point type.
Agee points were named by W.R. Wood in 1963 for examples
recovered in burial mounds on the Crenshaw site in Miller County,
Arkansas. These arrow points date to sometime between A.D. 700 to A.D.
1000. They are found on Late Coles Creek culture sites in Arkansas,
Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. One very well made Agee point was found in
one of the caches in mound 72 on the Cahokia Mounds site in southern
Illinois.
Agee points range in size from 5/8 of an inch to 2 ½ inches
in length. They have been found in burial caches of up to 300 examples.
