  • Connecticut Find

    Hi, all. I found this piece today in a field in central Connecticut. It's not the prettiest, but it's the largest point I've yet found. I'm thinking that the lithic (rhyolite?) might help inform the type. Anyway, my first thought was that this is an Atlantic point. But, I'm not quite sure if the base fits just right. So, I'm leaning more towards Koens-Crispin, or Lehigh (which is where knowing the lithic would be useful). As always, any and all help is greatly appreciated!

    Looks like they found a flat rock and worked the crap out of one side?
    Wandering wherever I can, mostly in Eastern Arkansas, always looking down.

      Is it edge-flaked on both sides, with the one “flat” side being a natural plane?

      I believe that both faces have been worked all the way across. However, with no knapping experience of my own, I suppose I can't say for certain that there isn't a natural plane present.

      I am no expert by any means. I don’t even play one on tv. I like that piece though. It’s cool.
