I was passing by this farmer’s private museum, and stopped to look at his artifacts. He has been asking me to, and also wanting me to add a few. Anyway, my jaw dropped when I saw this heartbreaker. I told him it was paleo. Was I right? Too bad about the base being gone. I have hunted this same spot where it was found. It was found by the local Hutterite colony. Anyway, enjoy a nice piece made from Knife River Flint. I told him I would come back to help him label his

Wow! Amazing craftsmanship on that piece. The kind of flaking does suggest paleo or trans- paleo and I think you made a reasonable suggestion.Stagger Lee/ SE MissouriComment

I would guess paleo as well but without the base it's difficult to say for sure what culture it belongs to. However its size, material, find location, and flaking style suggests the possibility of being an Alberta point. Alberta (Cody Complex knappers) were fond of KRF.
Several of the large Alberta points from the Hudson-Meng bison kill were made of KRF. (note the Hudsen-Meng point’s flaking style to the left of the artifact SD posted)

I agree with the guys, as the material and flaking seem to suggest Paleo. Very nice piece. Also they do look strikingly similar to the lithic casts that 11kp shared. Like the post.Comment
