Possible alberta

[Up-North]

This one has been beating me up as to a type.
The base is cortex and not broke. May possibly
Be a Alberta even though I’m outside it’s range.
s.e. Minnesota surface find.

Looks like someone either later found it and started to mess it up by working on it on that opposite side, or the original knapper over flaked it and tossed it. I'm wondering if it was also intended to be a scottsblull? Buy it does have characteristics of a alberta type, but just messed up on that one side.

Thank you... I appreciate your input

Interesting looking point! Thanks!

Even with that cortex it may have been used. Big strong flakes drove off of it.

Cool relic.

It does have the outline, but the flaking looks more recent to me than what I expect for Cody Complex related material (Cody/Scotty/Eden/Albert/Firstview.) I'd guess it's more Adena age than late Paleo/Early Archaic.

Im have trouble keeping up, but what’s new.
I dont think alberta. Ill get some pics of one and some of some very similar specimens.
That is a nice coin. Iron Kettle looks as good as Ive seen not on a $50

Looks like it to me. Who knows.

don't get hung up on a name, it is a basic type you are looking for.
