I have some serrated Copena points, the serrations are finer than this example and exist on one face. If the base was more defined, I would say a Beaver Lake. The odd trait is the heat treating, that is a Copena trait more so than late Paleo - transitional early Archaic. If the base and hafting area has agressive grinding that would tilt more to an early point. If no grinding or very light grinding than I would lean more to the Copena. Nonetheless, nice.

Hell Gap?

I called hell gap on a piece a week or so back. Not one that gets brought up often. Does any one have a hell gap that they could post. I don't think I've ever seen one, other than illustrations.
 

Beaver Lake was my first impression followed by Meserve then Wheeler Recurvate. I'm not terribly familiar with Copena but a strong argument can be made for that type. I hadn't given much thought about the heat treatment, that's a good "point" to ponder. One of the better points in my collection is a Copena that upon first glance, looks like it has transverse flaking. It is wafer thin and just might have been serrated, hard to say, it's a well used tool.

Hell Gap's aren't generally associated with Tennessee.

My bad. Like I said, I have never even seen a pic of a real one. Suppose that one is for another post. Thanks!

Nice assorment of types, I think I see Archaic to Fort Ancient in this image...nice. Do you know the type on the bifurcated point? Looks McCorkle'ish, LeCroy maybe?
