New Find

[KKOhio]

First post here really like this site. Went for a short walk yesterday in my no till by the house. Always walk the same big hill first. Must have walked right over top of this guy a hundred times but spotted it today. Thought it was broke but the base appears to be worked this way. No idea on type in Greene county Ohio.

That is an amazing find! Looks thin. Nice color to it too... Welcome to the forum!

[KKOhio]

Thanks. It's very thin. A little thicker than a quarter

My two cents nice knife .

I could be totally off base here but the lithic material really looks like Alibates...

I believe my good friend, that you have fallen off your rocker. :-) Flint Ridge would be my best guess.

L Man, you know your stuff, but I'm going with KP on this one. That's Flint Ridge.

Oh yeah ? You get jacked up on steroids and do a few peyote buttons, you’ll see pink elephants fly too !!!

Had to look that one up but looks about right

[Kentucky point]

Alibates is a Midwestern material, closer towards Texas. Flint Ridge looks like that, and that is an Ohio lithic.

[Lindenmeier-Man]

I don’t care, it’s alibates darn it ... Let’s fuss ! Found in near every state from lots of walking !

[redrocks]

Welcome from Connecticut. That's a nice point... Congrats

Looks like a blade but could of been used like a knife nice material on that one.

Welcome to the forum from the Greene/Clark County border. That's a nice blade and even cooler that you pulled it from the no till. I'm going with Flint Ridge on the lithic type.
Good Luck out there, fldwlkr

Thanks to all

Welcome and a nice little find.

It's a nice point for sure. Sometimes triangular shaped stemless points are hard to ID because they were made from Paleo thru Mississippian periods. It is too large for a atlatyl dart or arrow point. Probably used as a knife or spear point. I tried to figure this one out for you but have had a tough time of it. It resembles a Frazier more than any other point I've checked on. Like Fraziers, it is triangular with an excurvate blade and flattened in cross section and the size is about right. From what I've read and from my own experience Fraziers are little known and somewhat rare..They are supposedly found from north Alabama to the Ohio Valley. The point is named after the Frazier Site in Benton Co., TN which is located adjacent to the west bank of the Tenn. River near the KY state line. References I used include the website projectilepoints.net, Handbook of Alabama Archaeology and the Overstreet book.
