Nice point

 

[capsmith]

Nice point.I dont think it is a pine tree .Pine trees has a flat base or all I ever seen did.Couple question that will help me to make a ID. on this one.Do you think the base was made that way or could it have a chip missing does it have any grinding anywhere on the base.What it the length and what part of TN did it come from.Your picture is good,but I couldnt enlarge it to see detail like I would like.

 

[GroundS.KeepeR]

Yes the base was made that way,has grinding around the base. Its a little over a 1 inc 1/2 in lenth..in middle tennessee. Thanks..

Nope dont think it is big sandy. Big sandy notches come in from the sides they do sometimes have a slight concave base but not lobes or ears like the one pictured. The base is what is getting me Iam going to have to do some looking to see what I come up with.I am from Middle Tn , Jackson Co.

After more looking I belive it was typed right to begin with... pinetree corner notch to be exact

That's not a Pinetree. Pinetrees aren't bifurcated. How big is it?

It could be a Fox Valley Point or a Kanawha, but it's definitely not a Pinetree.

I did and you could be correct.But the notches looks more like a corner notch . The top barb in the picture looks like it may have a small chip missing.I cant enlarge the picture to see any detail.

I've seen pine trees in huge cases that were just completely chalked full of them from the Swans Landing site. You can read up on it, but that site is believed to the biggest pine tree site. It's crazy the amount of points that were found over the decades there. It's been a while, but I've never seen a point like that in those cases. Like reaper said just an ordinary bifurcate you found...still pretty cool. We find lots of that type around here in Indiana. But,a pine tree is so much more of a higher quality piece. Also, when they are bifurcated the base is wide.

Here are a couple points I found on the web which states they are from the landing site on the Ohio River. These look exactly like the points I saw in them huge cases that were dug back when in was legal to dig in Indiana.

The bi-beveled re-sharpening that shows indicates that it's an oddly-based Kirk point.

FWIW

Not sure but I'd go with Stanly if it weren't for the same side of each face beveling.

Edit: Heck, I'm going with Stanly anyway!
