Ohio creek find 8/2/2010, need id.

[Swims with Beaver]

Was walking a creek in Ohio and this was sticking right out at me. Any help with ID would be appreciated.

As far as the generic term, it's an Archaic Side Notch Point and is in the Big Sandy/Hemphill/Osceola cluster of points which is a Early Archaic type of point.

Very nice find and great looking in situ pictures. Congrats and thanks for the pictures.

Great find man, that is one heck of a patina. There are a few types of archaic side notched points that look very similar so it's hard to make a call imo. My best guess would be Newton Falls because of the size and width. Big Sandy would be my second guess.

thats awesome, Id call that a sublet ferry/big sandy, the notches are lower on sublet ferrys to the bottom than big sandys
that is a killer find!!!
top 2 are sublet ferry
bottom 2 are big sandys
I think...

[pickaway]

Nice find man...any idea on the material?

 

[Swims with Beaver]

Pickaway, Musky 44 and Creekastro, I'm not sure of the flint type. I'm still new at artifact hunting. I'm still trying to learn point types. I do know that Flint Ridge is about an hour north of where I found it. There was a big chunk of flint sitting kind of next to it that was the same colors thats not in the pictures. Thanks for lookin' and the kind words.
