I second Up North's call of Table Rock. Being from Missouri, I see a lot of these late archaic blades. The well rounded shoulders, slightly expanding stem, and size, strongly suggest Table Rock. Most specimens exhibit a slightly convex base, but I have seen some that were straight as this one appears to be. Curious, was this a field find or associated with a possible camp site?

Found in a feeder creek. I have only hunted it a couple times, but it's produced a couple nice pieces. I also found this blade. 20201121_085544.jpg

Congrats from St Louis! Pretty sure that isn’t a bottleneck or table rock. It’s likely a Kramer. Very nice find.
