Wow, very nice Sandy, touch call on the type, 1st guess Stilwell and old!
thank ya! This one has been a long time coming, considering how often I've been looking. S
I just checked on the Stilwells and wanted to let you know that was a cool guess. I can see where you were coming from. But take a look at plate 3 items b, d and e. In Noel Justice's book and tell me what you think.
But only.... If your not busy and have an inclination too.
The concave base is what throws it for me as far as Thebes, my other guesses were Kessel or Big Sandy. That is what is interesting about points around here, a little of this, a little of that, worked down. I have a frame from one site, I can't put a name to half of them. Still a well done, beautifully made point,don't get to find those everyday!

Good point Greg. The notching does looks Thebes. I have seen so called Thebes from Ohio with bases like this. I also have trouble with Early Archaic corner notched points from around here.
Nice point Sandy. Glad you are able to get and find stuff still. This weather has been weird to say the least but it has given so many folks opportunity for looking.

:laugh: Taking measurements now. Will take pics with my Kodak in a bit. I'm still drooling and need to call my brother! Lol
Some info.
length 2 1/8
Width 1 1/2
Both notches are 3/8
Base length is 1/2
Width is 1 1/4
Beveled on base and blade. Maybe early to middle archaic. Haven't cracked the books yet.
Forgot to add thickness which is about 7 mm. Couldn't find my calipers so I did it old school.[/quote
You're on a roll! Totally awesome and love the beveled base! That's neat!
