Found this one earlier today. It’s 2 1/4” L x 1 1/4” W. I’m thinking it’s Carter Cave chert and possibly turkey tail style with the long base. The sides are made at different height,or off balanced as seen in pics. May be older type, I’ve seen a pic somewhere that looks like it, but couldn’t find one just like it really in projectilepoint.net. East KY hilltop. Ok. Heading back into the cliffs for a while. Thanks for looking! ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1602005533.700556.jpg

I find that type here in southern Ohio as well and I've been told they are Terminal Archaic Stemmed Points, which are basically the precursor to Stemmed Adenas. That is a really nice example.

Hey thanks for your insight! Your explanation fits better than what I was thinking. As about everything I find out here seems of the archaic period
