I found this item at the waters edge of Lake Superior in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. It looks to be napped from chert or flint and measures 2 3/4” x 1 1/4”. Can anyone date this and let me know what it is.

Blades like this were made through all time periods in stone age North America . I agree with up north the only way to take a guess would be if you found other artifacts in context. The other artifacts would have to be finished points and you could determine diagnostic traits. It might narrow down an age but it would still be just a guess. We are not the only people who pick things up and bring them home. Natives also foraged and found curiosities from earlier people and would move them . Nice find. I wish we could help more. Something I know is this. The more I learn makes me realize how little I really know. I learn everyday on this site.

When you see the flakes run all way across point or blade this is normally a sign of paleo material, it is usually really thin. Nice blade.South East Ga. Twin City

I found this item in the general area of the blade that I found. It doesn’t look like a normal rock formation, could it be Indian related. It is like a point but is rounded and the bottom looks like it may have been napped and there is a worn area on each side. It measures 3” long and 4 1/4” around the base. Any ideas? Either way it’s a cool item.5 Photos

Just had a bad storm last night so I took a walk on the beach to see if anything washed in and found this small rock. You can still feel the grooves in it, it was either chiseled or wrapped with wire or leather at one time. Any ideas what it is and how old? A charm necklace maybe? Its old and worn.3 Photos
