a few recent summer finds

[eastTNJoe]

I went out again this week and found a few whole points and parts/preforms. These are the most intriguing. As always, I would love input on point type if you think you know...I bought an Overstreet Guide to try to help...so my guess is from left to right...A really worn Adena?, an unfinished something, a Morrow Mountain, and something I thought was originally a spokeshave, but is probably just a point with a shattered top half. Thanks for any help!

I like the first one to the left. You got some nice study pieces. The second one even has the base but the tip isnt finished.

Yeah Rock...struggling to decide if the one that has the unfinished tip is worthy of calling a point...since it actually has no point at all! I agree that most fall into the "study" category...which is the pile that I dig through and examine way more thoroughly than the definitive whole points...not sure why I find myself doing that, but provides a good meditation....

Is it really green? and is it worked on both sides?

I believe it is a knife and it shows archaic flaking on the left side. You can see the long flakes removed at a angle. If the strikes were straight across I would say a early piece. If the flakes were scattered it would be Woodland. So I would guess archaic
