    Never found indian artifacts before but it could be a scraper?

    Re: Help?

    Harder to tell the size of the thingy, But I have scrapers or cutting stones like this. Knives aren't usually sharpened on both sides but they sometimes held them with a piece of leather.

    May be a lance/spear point.

    looks like a "hand axe". there are some that theorize that these were thrown without a lance...

    It kind've looks like an Adena blade... I've found caches of anywhere from 7 to 15 of these at once... very nice point.

    Re: Help?

    it looks to be some sort of scraper or knife blade, i dont believe it is large enough to be an axe head, and there are no markings on it to put it on any kind of handle or shaft that i can see.
    just my opinion...i have been known to be wrong.

    Re: Help?

    I agree with headhunter on this one. I think its a preform(an unfinished point).

    I'm going with the adena type blade. Not a preform, but a finished piece and a nice one at that!
