Why are these artifacts so bent up?

On first glance you may be bothered by the fact that some of these points are deformed.   It must have occurred a very long time ago, since they are highly oxidized and brittle.

	Interestingly, most of the deformed points show a consistent pattern  of deformation- a bent tip, and a bend in the tang just below the neck.

 

In the context of their use, it becomes apparent  that this deformation  is the result of impact with an unyielding surface!
