Looking for opinions. Illinois piece. Very thick, bullet shaped and reworked. Found with other notched matanzas pieces in Illinois. The base appeared to have small protruding ears that have broken. Some say woodland but it’s too thick in my opinion. Looking for opinions on a paper I am writing. Thanks all!

It has a Copena Classic Point form (IMO). Clearly it’s been used up and reduced to its current state.
If so, it would fit into a transitional time period -Archaic to Woodland Period (4000 - 1200 BP)
Matanzas are recorded in the transitional time period as well - (4500 - 2500).
