It has me stumped.Thought Susquahanna broad at first but that base is awful wide for that.Maybe a deeply notched meadowwood?

i guess it could be one of several types. Could be a Broadpoint resharpened several times. Brewerton Side Notch and Normanskill also come to mind. If you look at the examples of Meadowood in Ritchie's NY typology, a couple have side notches about as wide as yours. But, in general, Meadowood has very narrow, and shallow side notches. These are all typical Meadowoods. In the case of the last small one on right in first photo, the notches are barely perceptible. The notches on your point are much bolder then any typical Meadowood.....

Here are the Meadowood examples in Ritchie's NY typology guide. It's not impossible that your's is a Meadowood, a few here have stronger notching then the average, numbers 3 and 15 for example....
