Super finds! The point in the first photo looks like it would have been used as a fishing barb point. Kind of like what is used today with fishing line attached to the end of an arrow. ''Cool''!

I'm not sure what happened to that point lol
Think it might be a worn out Archie " Lecroy" ?

Looks to me more like a transitional point such as a hardaway or dalton base, reworked to use as a scraper or stunner. Nice! TN, you don't think it has too large of a " fluted" base to be a LeCroy? Just wandering.

I do not know... Just went to the bifuracte drawer now I am re looking. I have a broke dalton with secondary work on the break but nothing like this. I think it is old though. Maybe Matt or someone will chime in on it. Interesting piece for sure. I think stunner is a misnomer don't you? I do not want to hi-jack his finds post so will see what the consensus is

Yes, misnomer is pretty much what the majority of my terms are. I picked up terms from elders that I have either hunted with or simply spoke with. Many of their terms have stuck. I don't know why, but many of them I just like, therefor, I don't correct them.
