Todays only find. What type point

[NC field hunter]

It looks almost Clovis. But no way I'm that lucky.



Sorry for resend, I'm new to technology!

I'm not familiar at all with your area but my first guess would be union side notch Witch I think... don't quote me.. is transitional Paleo. Check that out and let me know what you think OK?

10/4 it is a rare lithic for my area also. I'll study tonight. Thanks for input

 

[GatorBoy]

You got it! Nice find!

 

[capsmith]

Is there a chip missing on the right side picture #1 &#3 ? The chipping doesnt looks as if it matches in that area. It is a nice point for sure and I see some more good point back there.

 

[NC field hunter]

It looks sort of like a spoke shave type notch?? I'll photo that edge for you when I get a second. If chipped, of has worn smooth. It does have a few chips and imperfections. Strange piece for my area!

Savannah river I thought was a stemmed wide point. I could be wrong, that has happened

 

[NC field hunter]

Oops, that is stemmed. Told you! Would it be a big sandy?

Almost looks like a type of guilford also, as narrow as it is . You are from NC , correct? If so, I dug a book up last night with our states points listed. I dug the book up so that I could help identify the points that you had posted to put on display. I'll post the points that I find in the book tonight. How do I reference on this site?

I'm nor sure what it is, but I'm 100% sure what it isn't and it isn't a Clovis, Scottsbluff, or a Big Sandy.

I think it started life as a Guilford. Maybe it was modified at a later date. These things happen. That is some really nice material.
