serrated side notch

[bruce]

Hello there,

Is this a type of a Archaic Dovetail?
Found this one on 12-A-446 a long
time ago.

Thanks,
Bruce

Nice point, I would call it a late archaic side notch. I don't get into the terminology much since it varies greatly depending on location. Here is a website that I use often to help with identifying points. http://www.oplin.lib.oh.us/point/index.html

Looks like a Palmer to me.

Nice point.

I was thinking Palmer as well before I even read Dork's response. Hey Dorkfish, show us your Palmers. I know you have some killers.

Amazing collection, as always Steve. There's Palmers here in NC but unfortunatly I'm yet to find one.

An excellent show from both, and educational as well!

Thanks for the input all.

I concur with Doug. I see one that
resembles ie right corner of Dorkfish's display.
I do not think it is a Palmer they are upper corner
nothed and straight to convex sides shoulder are
barbed. Nice pictures!

Thanks,
Bruce

Yeah, I would'nt call it a Palmer by no means with those square notches. BTW, some nice Palmers posted on here though

So if you don't believe it's a Palmer then what would you consider it to be. A Robinson, Newton Falls, or a Big Sandy that just happens to be serrated. Just curious on your opinion.

Dork, I honestly don't know what name I would put on it, like I mentioned before I'm not a big fan of putting a particular name on a point. But if I was to label this point I would call it a late Archaic serrated side notch plain and simple. The notching on this point is nothing close to the basel notching found on true Palmers. Just because it's serrated does'nt make it a Palmer, just my 2 cents worth.

I see what you mean about it not being a Palmer, per se, but it is in the same classification/time period as the Palmers and I'm sure related some how. Like you said, for generic terms it's just an Archaic Serrated Side Notch Point and a very nice one at that.

Thank you Dorkfish,

Say you are kind, thanks for being there.
Serrated projectiles I only have a few. Learning as I go.
