Id like to put a name to this one. The area I found it I find Archaic to Mississippian period it was found in a creek so anything is possible. Just never know how long it was traveling for and the creeks here are like small rivers and private property to the land owners. This creek runs at least 25 miles long and is anywhere from 6 inches to 10 feet deep and at least 10-20 ft wide it does flow over the banks a few times a year and the banks are 10 ft tall. So with all of that current certain times of the year. Its ground on the base and part way up the sides. Its the only 1 I have ever found like it. Looks like it might of had ears on it at one time. Personal find N GA. Thanks any help would be great.

Hi SH. It looks kinda like a Connerly to me. Although Connerlys usually have a slightly incurvate base and this point looks to have a more straight base, I don't think that necessarily disqualifies it from consideration. Is the cross section flat on both sides or is it plano-convex? The base appears to have been thinned. Is it heavily ground smooth? I can't tell from the pics. Connerlys are mid to late Archaic and are known from north Georgia. Another point that it looks very similar to is the Red Ochre. It also is found in north Georgia according to the Peach State Arch. society. Red Ochres are supposedly late Archaic to early Woodland. I would check those 2 out. You can see pics of them at projectilepoints.net and on the Peach State A.S. website as well as in the Overstreet manual. Whatever it is it is not a Candy Creek or a Beaver Lake.

They appear to be the same type whatever that is. They don't look like Copenas to me. You failed to mention what is the x-sectional form. The broken tip point was broken while in use. They are knives and the person who broke it probably was using it for something it was not intended for just like people do today with knives and they wind up with a broken tip or worse.
