Elko – Arrowhead & Projectile Point Identification

Elko projectile point
Culture: Desert Culture
Time period: Archaic; Elko series chronology varies by region and subtype
Region: Great Basin
Material: Obsidian, chert

Elko is a Great Basin projectile-point series that includes named notched variants. The Great Basin National Park reference discusses a broad 2,000–6,000 years-ago regional interval; this is a type estimate, not direct dating of the photographed specimen. Subtype should be identified separately from the general Elko label.

Use PointFinder's AI arrowhead scanner to identify whether a point you found might be a Elko.
