Beautiful piece!

I see some traits that look Archaic, but my guess is that it is a Woodland era Norton point (related to the Snyder Cluster.) That said, I'm not an expert on your area so it's just a guess based on some examples I've handled from Michigan.

I would agree with Joshua that it's probably woodland and probably hopewell. The large rounded shape notches and barbed points on the base all look reminiscent of a Gibson point. That is a really nice find.

I agree that it looks like a a Hopewell type of the Snyders cluster and more than likely a Gibson.

Very nice point.
