Help with point type

[Adena_man]

I am hoping that someone might be able to help me with the point type. I found it a couple of years ago in Jessamine County, KY.

Thanks

Hey Adena. I looked it up in a Penna. Type book and it resembles the Late Paleo style called "Hi-Lo".
Named by James E. Fitting.
Named for Hi-Lo Gun Club in Michigan where the type site is located.
Base is generally thinned, or slightly fluted, and concave.
8000-6000 B.C.
I got this from
"Projectile Point Typology For Pennsylvania And The Northeast" by Gary L. Fogelman
Hope this is of some help.

Looks like the flake scar on the side in the picture is running from the distal end towards the base. Does the flake scar that looks some what like a flute terminate before reaching the base as outlined in yellow?

Hey Bobthebaitfish! Yes it does terminate right at the yellow outline. The base is thinned down pretty good as well.

Thanks for the post!
