Bullshrink,

That is a beauty! What are you thinking on the classification? Adena, Adena-Robbins, Cresap, something else? That one could bring down a mastadon...

Congrats, Subterranean

Nice find. Actually it's probably a knife. A piece that large would most likely bounce off any big game. You could not propel it hard enough for penetration, not even with an Atle Atle. Does'nt take anything away from the piece, it is a nice artifact.

I found it's big brother here- Old Maps, Expeditions and Explorations: UM digs find 10,000-year-old Native oasis

That's a Nice one for sure,.Here's the biggest one I know of from here on the coast of N.C..It was dredged up in a oyster dredge by my Great Grandfather in the early 1900's.He was born in 1895 & always told us he was a youg man when he caught it.Me & my dad have found some close in size but this one we still have not beat to this day.
