Archaic side notch?

[knapper1492]

Any idea on type? From northeast Illinois.

its size suggests it is an arrowhead, so not Archaic in the North American sense. Just call it an expanding stem... has a nice ding from use too!

Not much left of that one. I can tell you live in a flint poor area. Your locals used points until they were nearly gone. I’m in So Central IL and it’s about the same here. Locally available flint in small nodules only. Anything big had to be imported. At least you are finding flint.👍🏻

Im thinking a used up brewerton. They are common in NE Illinois. Thoughts?

I’d call it a stemmed point, not a side notch. Blade shape and base remind me of Table Rock more than anything. Late archaic I think.

I think it’s a side notch with one ear broken. You can see the percussion scar where the notch was removed. I do agree it’s probably late archaic.
