What age is that Tom? Cant load any pics at this time

9000 BC.... SailorJoe is right.....is the base and waist ground?? I have a Suwannee like it that I believe was transitional from Clovis to Suwannee that looks like that..due to the basal fluting/thinning work/attempts. Bases and the waist area are ground with Suwannee.

Most of the good quality flint points I find have been loved to death and can be hard to identify sometimes thanks for your opinion Tom

It does look like a Suwannee without the concave base and auricles. But since those are two of the main characteristics of that type, it isn't logical that it is a Suwannee. Bartow County is a bit north of where they are usually found but that fact is not a game changer necessarily. I found points in areas where the point guides say they are not found. Tell us if the lower edge of each side and the base is heavily ground. If not, that would pretty well tell us that it is not a Paleo era point. Lanceolate shaped points are often among the very hardest types to ID. Some are easy, others can be really tough. It looks very similar to Greenville or Copena triangular. Those are Woodland types and are known from your area.Last edited by sailorjoe; 02-04-2019, 10:56 AM.

Most finders in my area are like me they think it might be older but don’t know. We send each other pics of finds from every hunt but really don’t have a clue. Just enjoy the findingNW Georgia,

It sure is a beautiful point congratulations SurfaceHunter. If I were to have found it in WNC my first thought would be a Nolichucky or a Pigeon. Yea those are probably out of your range but there is one thing I'm sure of it's a beauty!N.C. from the mountains to the sea

Thank you on the comments it’s the flaking on the one side that throws me off on the type. I have a pickwick that shows the same scattered on one side and parallel on the other so I would guess it’s at least Archaic period but I find some pieces in that area that nobody can identify as a type this might be one of those.NW Georgia,

I'm kinda liking the Beaver Lake suggestion...... 7500 BC but base should still be ground.... Suwannee are generally much larger and have well formed auricles...but jeez that one has one real nice auricle imhop and one funky one lolol. Find us some more of 'em.Professor Shellman
