Do we  know of any actual red points, or is this all based on  hearsay?



As far as I know, it was heresay between the late Paul H. Ezell and three  
colleagues in the bar at the 1968 SHA Conference in Tucson, Arizona. They  all 
claimed to have seen red glass flakes and at least one said he saw red  
projectile points. Ezell alleged they existed. 
 
For those of you who did not know Ezell, he was chair of the Department of  
Anthropology, San Diego State University and a Ph.D. graduate of the University 
 of Arizona. His dissertation had something to do with historical work in  
correlation with ethnographic tribal use of southern Arizona and he served with  
the Border Patrol for at least a dozen years down there. He saw a lot of 
flaked  glass during his 12-years of field classes at the Royal Presidio de San 
Diego,  although probably not much was red glass.
