Point ID Help Needed!

[old digger]

I was hoping I could get some input on this point as to ''type''. It looks somewhat similar to a Pelican Lake-Harder Var., but not sure? Thanks for your input and viewing.

Wish I knew and wish I could find one too ;-)

Found this point yesterday on top of a mole mound. Don't you love it when our animal friends bring artifacts to the surface for us to find!

You may want to consider the Hog back as well digger.

Digger. Where was it found? Still no I.D?

Not familiar with ''Hog back'', is that a site named point? And out of curiousity, what area?

I found this point last week in south-centeral Montana. I really have not found one like this one, the base of a Pelican-Lake is a corner-notch with a normally angled out stem, but this example angles straight down. Just has me wondering.

I do not claim to know your types but pelican lake looks close except for the base which probably has some damage like the ears. Could it be maybe a Galt type I or even a Glendon arrow? The base damage may never give it to you unless u can find associated points or a specific style flaking... Sorry could not be more help.

Not sure how they came up with the name, but they are found in the northern plains states, up into Canada. After a little more looking, I may be leaning more toward Camel Back. Overstreets definition for Camel Back is, "a small corner notch point with a large bulbous base. Larger than hog back... Id key, bulbous base. They are late prehistoric, 700-500 b.p.

Hog back is a little older, 1000-500 b.p. I'd say you can safely hang one or the other of those names on your point.

Thank You very much for your Input!

Thank you very much for your help!
After doing some research, it does have the characteristics of a Hog back. Thanks!

Thanks NCPeaches, this is my first find of this type of point. Hopefully I can find another one of these.

it looks quartzite.....is it?
