Morning NP,
Wish I could tell you exactly what you have there, but your a little north of me...lol If the point was a bit larger I would say it was a Stone Square Stem point....middle archaic...6-4 BP If I found it here I would classify it a more or less non-descript stemmed point....probably late archaic to early woodland. Nice little point to be sure. Looks like a little of the cortex (original outside of rock) left on the end of the stem. Looks as though you are on to a promising site.
Hey Undertaker...there is a 9th edition out on overstreet now....Has some really good photos as well as some new types. Noticed several in the South section anyhow. Its a very valuable reference tool as you said. Good photos, usually several within a given point type....also showing variations of each. Gives names, ages, and also cross references with similar points.
As for pricing....as I understand it the first is wholesale, the second retail...both HIGH. In reality except for the most perfect or large of points in the more rare categories, you cannot hope to sell points for the prices shown. Personally I feel that this constant ratcheting up of point value will only lead to the collapse of the market in time as antiquities laws are tightened to stop looting of sites, and as a result put an end to surface collecting as well. For now its just fun to go out and pick up the goodies and I hope the laws never change to make me and outlaw..LOL
Here's a photo of a few of last weekends lake finds....nothing spectacular, but fun to find nonetheless. The broken white one would have been a honey.
Looking forward to seeing your new finds NP. Good luck in your search.
