Frederick point

[tnmudman]

I wish it was whole, but its still alright with me. It was worked down to a drill form. Also some other stuff I found lately, a nice translusent piece unfortunately it was broken also.

Nice finds I love the drill and that translucent quartz ? Is really interesting with that square base is that a small notch for hafting or a chip missing ? Looks like it was a nice blade

Looks like a good day.

That’s an obscure/uncommon point type from that was named for a site in my home state of Indiana.

Fredrick Bifurcate (one E, not two) is the version of the name that has stuck a bit, Frederick Point is a paleo type found in Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas.

I think it is a notch on the square piece Arrow. The one I called a frederick, I just went by what I saw on the projectile point website. It shows that in my region it is found which is middle Tennessee . It is the first one like it I have found and they are saying it is early archaic.

It’s spelled properly on the front page, but looks like spellcheck got it on the actual page.

tnmudman You have a tool that was repurposed as early as early as nine to four thousand years ago. It was too valuable to discard when broken. The uplifted Shoulders are plainly seen here on the Fredric and was skillfully shaped into a drill which could have made it more valuable to him. The narrow bifurcated base would have been easy to haft and may have been used by his wife, woman, or how ever she was identified. If you study a point thoroughly, when you sit down to look at it the dna in your body will reveal things you never think with a casual examination. It's more satisfying way to use our thinking ability. It's all there inside yourself.

That’s a Good find any day. Very interesting.

But I have some reservations regarding Gilmerman’s statement about studying the artifact.

Respectfully, the way it is flaked or hafted does not reveal the gender or marital status of the user, or if the tool can be assumed to have been borrowed by the owner’s woman?,

Furthermore, the DNA in your body will not reveal anything about the artifacts you find.

This is not helpful.

I have held it and looked at it, and none of that has come to me yet.

Misunderstood everything I said. Only used metaphors. You obviously do not study your artifacts in same latitude as I do. No gender of course is factual nor who used it is not known. When I hold a point, I love having found it. Try to imagine who made it, where he or she was, how they lived, have a family, how large it was, were they skillful, hungry, season. Have traced my ancestry back to 1505 no further records. My family did use primitive weapons, in service to their country and in private life. Sorry to have offended you both. It won't happen again.
