Sunday Find - Only 1 Point

[Twitch]

Went out Sunday and found only 1 point, but it was worth it. Found a pretty nice early archaic knife. 2-1/2", serrated and beveled. No damage to the point though one of the ears is slightly shorter than the other. Probably the nicest point I've found so far this year. Found ~20 or so brokes as well but nothing good. Ate too many footprints to have a better day!

Great insitu pic, very nice point, if you were in florida that would be one fine beveled bolen!

Nice point, is that a deer print in front of the piece? A couple inches back and the deer could have pushed it back into the mud.

Nice find! I really like the symmetry on that.

Looks like a Stilwell, that has been resharpened....nice find for an early archaic piece.

That point would make my YEAR!

Gorgeous, thanks for sharing it with us!

Thanks everyone.

JYD - I'll try to get some more pictures tonight. It was a really nice bevel to it that didn't come through in the picture.

Joshua - Yes it's a deer print right in front of it. I was think that might be why it was sticking out of the dirt like that, the deer print pushed the tip down and the base up.

Rege-PA - I also think it's a Stillwell though most people would say it's a Pinetree. I couldn't tell you what the difference is between the two anyways. I've found a lot of early Archaic pieces at this site. I'll try to get a picture of some of the other early piece from that spot.

Boy, that's a killer. Thanks for sharing.

Great looking Point and in situ picture. I was thinking more along the lines of a Pine Tree too, but it could be a resharpened Stilwell.

[Twitch]

Attached are two more photo's of the point. I agree it's a Pinetree most likely. First shows the bevel and the 2nd is just another picture of it. The 3rd picture is a couple of the other points I have found in the same area. It's a multi-component site, so I only included other Early Archaic points, Kirk, Pinetree, Lost Lake. I did not include Dove's, Big Sandy's or Daltons mostly because I'm lazy and I didn't feel like taking all the cases off the walls.

Thanks for the look.

Twitch...just a few observations, Pine trees are usually flaked to a medial ridge, Stilwells are generally flatter, your point being beveled leads one in the Lost Lake direction as the others are not beveled. Interesting point and worthy of study.

Nice. Very Nice. And a great photo of the bevel.
