A Florida corner notch

[H.P.]

This point has a rhomboid crosssection as a result of single beveling on each face, and the base does not appear to be ground...It also has a great patina and River polish... It’s a north Florida piece...Any ideas on ID.

Nice find. A classic 2429!

JK. Maybe a Broward variant.

I’m stumped It’s beautiful regardless.

Kirk Corner Notch? Honestly I don't really know. Love the river polish.

You know I’m gonna ask, What’s a 2429,?

It says it on the arrow head.

Lots of small Woodland period corner notch points. Some just don't t type easy. Looks a little small for a Kirk. Bullen might have typed it a Leon, not real common.They are small North Florida points. Nice piece with the river polish. St. John's points tend to be blue so maybe a panhandle river?

It looks like a Kirk but the beveling on one side of each face disqualifies it I believe.

This point is2-1/4” long...Leon’s are never serrated,I think I have an idea, I’ll keep lookin, thanks.im getting good feedback from you folks.staysafe

It has left hand bevelling. Very unusual. A left handed individual used it? The only culture that used left handed bevelling were the Dalton people. A nice skinning knife regardless. Gary

Exactly, right hand bevel, by a lefty..at least that’s what I always thought, then to, it might’ve been a non conformist knapper,Lol....Noticed some on Bolens also, don’t know about other areas cuzz I only collected Florida..I don’t put too much stock in which side the bevel is on when trying to determine what type point it is ...thanks for lookin.

I think I’m still learning how to reply,lol..anyway, hope you see this, stay safe.

It looks smaller in pic than 2-1/2" so the fail safe is Kirk! It could be about anything I guess.

First off -- Rhomboid: a solid figure with six faces in which each face is a parallelogram and pairs of opposite faces lie in parallel planes.

IOW, it's bi-beveled (both left and right bevels on both sides).

IOW, it's a Kirk Cornernotch.

FWIW

Well, no one yet has offered Palmer--they are known to have been manufactured in exactly the same time frame and they've been called a small Kirk in many documents I've read so here it goes... Palmer! I can't recall reading anything about bi-beveling on Palmers.

Bi-beveling is a Kirk signature practice.
