John:
I suggest contacting Pete Bostrom at Lithic Casting Lab
(lithiccastinglab.com).  He currently has available many epoxy resin
reproductions made from casts of Paleo-Indian and historic Native Nations
artifacts .  He can also make casts for you from your own collections as
well. You can request that he not using the casts to make replicas of your
collections for other buyers.

I purchased Folsom artifact casts from him when I used to work at the Fort
Collins Museum (Colorado).  We interpreted the Lindenmeier site in Northeast
Colorado.  We displayed our Folsom collection and used the reproductions for
education purposes.  These reproductions included a Folsom point and a bone
needle fragment.  I was happy with the quality and durability.

Good luck,

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Arrowheads plastic resin casts


We're looking at putting in plastic resin cast of PaleoIndian, Western
Pluvial Lakes Tradition, and Early, Middle and Late Archaic period
replicas in an exhibit.  We have original pieces, but no quality pieces
so looking at a good sampling of various types such as Haskett,
Scottsbluff, Elk-eared, Rosegate pint, Cottonwood triangular points,
etc.

Does anyone know any quality vendors that can reproduce these points?
We are also looking
at a flintknapper doing the pieces.   Thanks in advance.
