[jeff a]

WTG Ohioaxeman What an awesome find!!!

I'd guess that's an Adena or other early Woodland type stemmed point. Great blade. Is there any basal grinding or diagnostic flaking?

 

[TretinIowa]

Wow that is a really nice find I would say late archaic or early woodland but i only know what i see in my book lol....

 

[ohioaxeman]

I'll try to get better pics. The base looks snapped off at 2 angles.

 

[Th3rty7]

Nice point.

 

[ohioaxeman]

Took a few more pictures of the base to show how it may have been snapped off!

Thanks for the pictures of the base. I would guess that the base is not broken, that it was manufactured that way. I still think it's a late archaic / early woodland piece. As usual my opinions are worth slightly less than I'm paid for them. Great point regardless of type.

Oh man, I love that one! It is really really nice.

1) The base isn't snapped off (accidentally). It's burinated off. That's a Late Paleo-Early Archaic characteristic.

2) What I can see of the flaking looks more like the early work than the random percussion of Adena.

3) Now a question for you : is that Flintridge or a glossy grey Coshocton ?

4) Not that this means anything major, but that material shows up on Late Paleo sites in Ohio.

I agree with what uniface said. The base was made that way on purpose and is not broken.

I have this one here that is very similar to yours and I have always thought it was a late Paleo or Early Archaic type point. Mine is made from Gray Coshocton.

Thanks for the info Uniface and SRV. I'm not that good at identifying material, but i will look it up and see what i can come up with!
