this blade was found in my grandpas field in southern indiana. I believe its a flake off Indiana Hornstone and I havent found anything like it as far as having a smooth middle on both sides. Its nice and thin.

Your not gonna like it but I’m going to tell you anyway.......... That is where a Clovis point was salvaged into a a cutting blade or scraper. Most likely a archaic NA found and modified it.... I hate it when that has happened but salvaging was a normal practice ! Super find / scoreLubbock County Tx

it is a tool, perhaps used as a knife or maybe a scraper. Not anything that can be identified as belonging to any particular time. Not uncommon to find tools that we have a hard time thinking "now exactly what was that used for". Unlike, LM/JJ, I don't think it was a repurposed Clovis.

I have seen a few hornstone Cumberlands that have the flaking patterns almost identical to that. I’m not saying that yours is a salvaged Cumberland but I have seen one that was broken and reworked that was found with the Cumberland that Ashley gave me from Kentucky. Very similar. Awesome find !SE ARKANSAS

It looks like it was made on a flake hence the flat on both sides. JMO but I'm not seeing evidence of a flute.Last edited by Ron Kelley; 01-14-2020, 02:48 PM.Michigan Yooper
