Jackie stemmed

[Older The Better]

Was doing some metal detecting when I saw this laying in the dirt right in the middle of a roughly 1900’s farm site. Been working hard to find some points this fall, guess the trick was to do something else.

Pretty confident it’s a Jackie stemmed, early archaic, it is heat treated which is usually a younger trait, but I’ve found another Jackie that’s also heat treated. It’s been worked to a nub and got a slick little fossil inclusion.

That fossil on the point is AWESOME!

What a unique find.

I can’t imagine that inclusion ending dead center of the base was an accident. Wish I understood knapping so I could appreciate the skill that must take.

That is a Beauty Queen!
Congrats. An amazing fossil placed dead center...the maker had a real eye for his lithic.

That is a great little point, the fossil is incredible.

That’s Kay County flint. Those UFO fossils are distinctive. It’s also sometimes called “Florence A” chert.

Awesome thanks for the Id on the material, the Kay county/florence-es, aren’t found exactly here but they are probably the closest widely used material. Kay county itself is 120 miles sw, although I’m sure there are closer sources. always looking to sort out trade networks so material ids are always a great bit of information

So what is the name of the fossil in it? It’s got a nice design

Good question, here’s what I found. I always thought fusilinids were rice shaped but I guess it depends on how you slice em.

That's a real top shelf find, congrats!
