Certainly look like a spear point to my eye.....but I'm no expert.

Hopefully someone can give you a positive id and a date range.

Better pictures. image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg Sorry I just realized you can't read numbers on tape. I think last pic you can read it's over three inches long.

It looks like a Thebes point, which are pretty old. My chart says 9000 to 6000 B.C. Nice find.

Definitely a Thebes and a pretty nice one. Shame about the piece of base broken off. Where was it found? They are mostly midwest and that type is usually Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky area
