Out of my realm of experience but it is a beauty. Looks a little like a copena or an eden but am sure these guys will know. Nice one.

Man, it looks great laying in the mud. Had to be a blast picking that one out. Fine point!

That's a nice one. Better picture highlighting the flaking would be needed. Like Tnmountian said, it does have that Eden look to it tho.

Congrats on a nice save cfj90!

It is a beauty. That lithic is really nice. I doesn’t look like an Eden to me. There will be more opinions soon.

I can see it has a high median ridge but that's about it. I have seen lances classified as Eden's and I would have never guessed it was Eden due to its form, but the flaking was a dead giveaway...

Great find Jim. That point is definitely not a Copena and almost certainly not an Eden. Most likely it's a Nebo Hill, an early archaic type, which it fit stylistically and distribution. Again, great find, congrats my friend.

Considering the find location I tend to agree with Twitch. Some of the Nebo Hill/Sedalia pieces sometimes will exhibit the slight constriction at the base.

While I said it does look like a copena, I dont think it is a copena.


Not do I think its a Nebo Hill/Sedalia variant.


I think you may have identified it correctly as a munkers creek, or a lehigh variant
