SRV Do you have one like this..?

[SOHIO]

Was going through a box and found one I got curious about. Tried to get a picture of it but my camera only works good outside. The side of it has a sliver fractured off. I started looking for a comparison on some sites but didn't run across anything similar, thought i'd just post here before looking further. The picture is terrible so I'm not sure if anyone will be able to tell anything about it or not but I thought I'd give it a try. I am thinking it is a paleo point of some type I'm forgetting about or not familiar with. I don't find much in the way of paleo so I'm posting for help to id it. Thanks.

Like Treefrog said in the other post copena maybe. Here is another example of one. There are a few variations to this type also.

I am assuming you found it in ohio.Pretty certain that is not a paleo piece.A better pic would help. just a little FYI, copena is not a ohio type so that can be ruled out.

If you look in a book called Ohio Flint Types by Robert Converse there is a Hopewell type called a Sinuous Sided Hopewell, looks very similar to your point. It is a pretty rare Ohio type that does look like copenas, in 15 years I have only seen two.

Re: point id...lousy pic...

Hey thanks for the information I am going to look up examples of that type, and yes I am in ohio southern part . For the past years I have been solely on hopewell or adena and or both sites. I have been lucky enough to be able to hunt these spots for quite a while now without straying anywhere else where I might find anything else, archaic etc. and when I have exausted a site or it grows over etc. when I move on it's usually an adena or hopewell site I find again.

My pictures are still not the best it was pretty cloudy today but I tried. I had a point like this once before it was black zaleski. I was thinking that a copena would probably be a thin point and bigger than the one I have, but in the small amount of searching I done I could only see a copena or rice shallow notch as being close to it. Didn't realize it wasn't an ohio type. Mine is kinda thick for its size. But I do know it came from a hopewell/adena site I was working 20 years ago or so...so it's probably the type you have mentioned I greatly appreciate your help that ones been bugging my since I came across it the other day. In the first picture the left side of point is what the other side (the edge) would look like but its broke on the right side (sliver off)

Re: point id...lousy pic...

I was looking through one of my books by murphy on the hocking valley, I came across a point like this called hastate triangular. It was found in the Shaw Cave in hocking county. Found with late woodland points. Book says unusual type. The side is slightly "notched " if you want to call it that, on the example in the book. I couldn't find anything on it to compare it with on google and the sinuous sided examples I could find were pretty big. The hastate in the book is the same size as my point. So I suppose thats what I am calling this one and anymore I find like it.

Hey Steve I was wondering if you had one similar to this one? Thanks.

It may be a reworked or heavily resharpened Hopewell or Snyders. Here's an example of a heavily resharpened Snyders with a perforator tip. There's also a type called Brunswick that has weak notches and a similar form but it's usually found south of Ohio.

that looks like the type 37, thanks for the post.

That was my thoughts exactly when I first viewed the picture and yes I do have one. I'll get a picture of mine and post it.
