✅ SOLVED Point that one of my students brought in

[drewa77]

This is a point that one of my students brought in found in southern Ohio (Scioto County). It was a creek find, not sure which creek. Any info, flint type, time period, etc would be greatly appreciated. I believed that it is stained flint ridge material.

Shame it broke... it looks like a later stage preform to me... It looks like it broke in a weak spot in the material during thinning.. That probably was not seen when the piece was started

Drew, I can't really get a handle on this one from just the pictures. It does look like a small Blade or Preform at some angles, but the angle from the top looks like it had a base at one time that has broken off so that makes it difficult to ID.

yep, the photo from the basal end seems to show a darker material at the break, possibly indicating it was a relatively modern break.

Probably Adena Blade, and a preform, it looks like they go to the bottom which was a little too Quartzy and probably discarded it, lots of good material in that region and we find em like that fairly often
