heres one I found years ago on chaplin river bank in washington co. Ky. it looks fluted to me but not sure.

i would say it just thinning flakes, so it would fit on the stick better.
but see what the other people say
i anit no pro.

Well, seeing that it is a Middle Woodland point type and most like a Hopewell, then no, that isn't a "flute" in the sense of a Paleo fluted point. Lots of cultures used basal thinning to thin out the base for better hafting.
