I found this the other day with the same batch in my last post ,it got left out somehow. It looks different from other bifurcate points i have found, it i s more long and narrow and the shoulders dont come out much. I would appreciate anyones opinion on it, thanks.

amazing color on that piece, I wish i could help with type, but i know nothing about your area other than it is rich in native American history.

Why are you the mud man?

 

[tnmudman]

Thanks anyway quito that cracked me up thst you asked that i dont know why, but im a drywall finisher i have been for going on 30 years so i guess i can call myself a mudman.

I don't know about the type, but kinda look likes it was broke and re-worked for use as a scraper.

 

[tnmudman]

Rginn it looks that way in one side but its just broke

I like that. You ought to know your stuff then after that long at it. Daddy always said that you never finish sheetrock, you just quit. He wasn't a drywall man, but a general contractor. I did just enough that I'd rather take a beating than do it.

Check out this Orient Point. It could be this type. Only thing I see that is similar. Orient Projectile Point

Mudman is this one similar? I found it in southern Missouri & ive never been able to get a consistent ID on it

 

[tnmudman]

It looks a lot like some of the examples they showed grim but those were from a different region, but i thought it looked like a fish when turned sideways also.m9000 your point is very similar but is really more well made and of nicer material i think. Thanks for all the comments

Points traveled on long hunts. I have a Holland I found here in southern Ohio and that type isn't found close to my area. I found it within a half mile of the Ohio River so it could have easily came north along the river. Yours could have traveled in as well. Just my thoughts. Great point regardless.

Mudman I laid yours over top of mine in a little photoshop app on my iPhone (it's called Juxtaposer, it's real easy to use).

I can't help but to think we have a match. Yours looks like it's tumbled in the creek a bit more than mine & the tip is a bit more rounded, but I still think i see similar flaking patterns & similar sizing. You're a few hundred miles away from me but only 2 or 3 rivers away via Native American hunting & trade routes.

There's a guy on here named Neanderthal who runs the Native American museum in my home town. I haven't seen him post in a long time but if he's still around, I bet he can give us some insight. I'll see if I can PM him & have him weigh in.

Fairland is a Texas type and not found in Tennessee.

mn9000, I'm pretty sure your Point is a Rice Lobed.

Well if you say so.

says Linden TN rite under the point pic

 

[DigIron2]

My first impression was a Orient.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Well if you say so.

My apologies. This must be new info because I have a couple Fairlands from Texas and in my study of the type I never saw them shown as found in Tennessee.
