Colorado Projectile Point Database

In 2018, Coal Creek Research, Inc. (CCR) created and began development of the Colorado Projectile Point Database, a database of high-resolution scanned images of projectile points from both curated sites and private collections throughout the State of Colorado, U.S.A. The scanned images and their accompanying information are freely accessible to researchers. Several thousand projectile point images are currently available in the database, which is regularly updated as additional collections are scanned.
