Another nice find today. Help with identification

One of my favorite points I have found mainly because everything here is almost always black. I have never found a point in WV this color. I wasn't sure the type though?

Very nice! Think it was cooked in a fire on the one side possibly?? Good save

Excellent

interesting material. Looks like a Bolen Bevel to me.

I don’t have any reason behind it, but i suspect it may be heavily resharpened.

Obviously beveled. Unusually heavy grinding as well. Fascinating !

It does look similar but not supposed to be found around here but you never know

 

[uniface]

My impression is that Bolens were the smaller, southern form of Thebes points.

Did you find in water? It reminds me of a creek stain but can come from the soil and sun patina also. Really nice find, I like it alot

Yes, it was found in a dry river bed.

What about Amos?

It does have that Amos look about it. But larger than most of them are, at least.
