    The streak continues

    The past several hunts I have had my doubts to the point I almost don't go. I decided to check the riverbank today and not mess with the leaves. I saw a leaf poking out of the bank that was a little more solid than a leaf. This is the nicest river bank find of my collection. I saw the flaking and instantly thought it was really early. If it's a nodena it's only 400-600 years old and also the online sources do not include WV in them. I am still happy with it even if it isn't as old as I thought. It blows my mind that someone made this with a rock and some bone

      Wow! Don't get much better than that! Great eyes on that find!
      Maybe an Adena blade? Just a thought.

        That is a beauty Luke thanks for sharing . I think that is a Lerma not a Nodena. Just my opinion.

          Man what an age difference that makes. I have never found a bi pointed anything so nodena was my only guess. I looked it up but I still can't tell the difference between the two. I'll take your wisdom over my guess any day. Thanks Hoss

              Looks like flaking from the earlier end of Lerma too. Beautiful!

                    Don't you just laugh when you pick up a leaf that looks just like a point ! My back doesn’t think it’s funny

                      I've flipped many dovetail leaves haha. This was a leaf until I touched it.

                      Hey Mike, That is a well made and beautiful blade. Being that it was found in West Virginia could it be a Guilford-Round Base? The Guilford-Round Base is middle Archaic. Location...Location...Location

                        Hi LCW. That is an outstanding point. A double wow beauty for sure. I haven't checked it out at my sources as to making a good ID but off the top of my head it certainly has a Lerma look about it. That's what I would call when first found before checking it out more thoroughly.
