This point is 1 ¾” long with a ground concave base and found in SWPA. The barbs appear to have been delicate and pointed. One side retains much of the original flake. Is this base considered bifurcate? What’s your opinion on time frame and why?
I’m starting to learn a lot thanks to the help from members on this forum. I’ve been fortunate enough to find flakes or artifacts on every hunt, but the real challenge is ID’ing types and time frames. This point was found Monday on a short scouting hunt. The site seems promising because flakes of three different materials were found, and the farmer said the site hasn’t been hunted in over 20 years. I’m hoping it is an early archaic site.
