Older point?

[eastjacj]

~ I sincerely hope I’m doing this right! First time on here! Looks like a great forum! I found this and am wondering if any one else believes that one “ear” of the base may be missing? The one broken off may have been be similar to the other? Possibly an older point? Creek find, and many artifacts I find are battered.

~ Found in Jackson Co, Mo (western Missouri) where other paleo objects have been found. I so appreciate any thoughts!

Thank you! I do find a lot of similar tools like the Waller knives I just looked up. According to Projectilepoints.com Waller knives are more south but you never know. Here is one I found just the other day.:

Nice

Its a nice relic, good flint material.
The flint has a Harrison County flint look.
It could be a broken off base tang. But it could be a Waller knife too. Hard to tell.

Jackson Co, Mo is a good area to search. I get in that area many times a year visiting my daughter and family. The Nebo Hill point was named for the Nebo Hill location close to the Missouri River close to the Liberty Sports complex. While its not much to look at now, back in the day I imagine many nice points were found. You can see some of these points found around Nebo Hill in the Clay County historical Museum in Liberty.

My buddy and I have plans to take my boat down the Mo river near there to search! His family used to have land near there and found artifacts!

I’ve recently taken a liking to secondary hunting Indian artifacts, that’s definitely been struck by man.

Definitely a biface tool. Possibly s preform.

I don't think it's a waller knife. It looks to be bifaced. Wallers are usually uniface. It looks like that ear has been broken and reworked. Not sure what to call it.
