We find them associated with Allendale points and this one is an Allendale blade. They are pretty much generic and were made similar in several different ages. This one was broke in manufacture and both pieces found and glued back together. I took a photo of back side but that photo was corrupt and would not load. This is found in Georgia South Carolina area near Savannah River. It would help some to know what style points were found with it and what state it was found.
It doesn't look like a paleo point, but that beveled angle on the base is often common in Archaic lance points, potentially something to do with the hafting method.
Without knowing what region of the country it was found often makes it difficult to type lanceolate points that have a random flaking pattern such as this one. In some respects it resembles an Angostura; but, I'm not calling it one. I agree that it is not an Agate Basin.
If I were in an archaeology lab, I would probably call it a preform for some sort of knife. A lot of these sorts of things are preforms rather than points of any particular kind or type.
