Blade type

[B.Rubble]

I found this blade this afternoon in a plowed field here in Muskingum County and was wondering if anyone has an idea as to what type it may be

[Hoss]

Any beveling to the oposing blade edges?

[B.Rubble]

Doesn’t appear to be beveled

I think it's an unnotched blank for a finished blade, could easily be Dovetail. It's Upper Mercer material. Of all the Doves in the Ohio survey, most are Flint Ridge, but there are a percentage that are UM. There are four recorded for Muskingum County, three are FR and one UM ( Jefferson Township). It's a beautiful blade, and I'd be scouring the area for more.

[B.Rubble]

Yes I hope to find more! I’m just south of Jefferson township

[WAH]

That's a nice blade

[B.Rubble]

Thank You

[Hoss]

Its a very nice blade what else has been found in the area?

[B.Rubble]

Well in this small area of the field is a very high concentration of finishing flakes,I have also found a broken blade in this area. Picture below

I've walked fields and come up on sections loaded with flakes....I'd hunt that area good, bound to me more artifacts....everytime it rains will see increase your chances....looks like a decent size area to hunt too

Very attractive blade. Nice size, how thin?
