Man Painter you are on fire dude, a super findIs the base broken or is it made like that.

That's beautiful. Great save.

Nice color in that one. Makes me want to do a hunt.

Just by the photos it looks like a complete archaic blade.
Is the bottom broken?
I don't see any sign of ears even slightly angling downward from the base of a stem like I'd expect to see on a Benton.. or any sign of a base left to make an ID. If its a broken stemmed point.
Super flaking on that one.

Just by the photos it looks like a complete Adena blade. Is the bottom broken? I don't see any sign of ears even slightly angling downward from the base of a stem like I'd expect to see on a Benton.. or any sign of a base left to make an ID. If its a broken stemmed point. Super flaking on that one.

I think it was made that way idk

That sure is a pretty flaked point, and nice and thin!

That transverse flaking makes me think it's a lot older piece than what you think. That type of flaking is normally associated with Paleo type pieces.

Is it oblique transverse? It almost looks like a round base copena in its shape I don't know but cool piece.
