In all my years of Surface Hunting this is the first Madison (whole or fraction) that I have found. It’s a great Late Woodland addition.

This point would have been a very effective big game arrowhead.

I’ll load up a clean up shortly.

That sure is a nice one, Congratulations! :icon_thumleft:
 

Looks like a Madison but they are from 1100 to 200 BP. If it's a Madison Inn, it would be 3,700 2,700 years ago. I'm no expert but your point has a straight pyramid sides and no curved base. Google Madison and Madison Inn look at the images. They are different construction and eras. Yours might be a newer age. It's a terrific find in any age.

I believe you're thinking of Mansion Inn Blade. There's no such type as Madison Inn.
 

Very nice point.


here were i am at, the madison points tend to be found in multi component sites. Settlements which had archaic through woodland and early historic contact. These produced most of the madisons, and were one was found, over time others where also found.

Congrats on the great find.
 

Thanks

The Madison is noted to be a common type, but not in my area.

Does anyone want to take a stab at identifying the lithic?
 

Congrats on a very nice looking point.
