    It looks like what I would call an Adena influenced point, a graver and an edge knife. Nice artifacts.
    Central Ohio

        This piece , judging from just the one pic, looks like a natural concretion. They form from ancient mud caking around some kind of organic matter. They will erode over time leaving a circular indentation where the organic part washes away. I think its just a coincidence that it is point shaped.

      I agree with flintguy. I would only add that the point,because of its small size, was probably used as a dart point being that the Adena culture predates the use of the bow. Having said that, if you research the Adena culture you will find that it was primarily located in the Ohio river valley area. But Adena dart points and knives are sometimes found outside of that general area. I found 6 of them in my old hunting grounds in north Alabama in the Tennessee valley.
