I've never sound anything like this! The flaking and base is new to me, never found this style before! Definitely my favorite blade to date!

man that is very unique and cool .. awesome pc

 

[SOHIO]

what can describe that pc is ingenuity, they knew they couldnt form that into a normal pc but they made it work for them anyway.

Nice stuff Johnathan! I belive that's a type of tang knife. Made to be that way. The Horizontal flaking has a Paleo or very early archaic look to it.

Nice Johnathn. I bet they were bummed when that bottom broke off in their hand. It is cool cause you can see the steps in manufacture up until they broke it.And then some more work. Why are all the good ones broke? Nice points.

I think they didnt want to waste that pc of flint and utilized it how they could and yeah made a tang knife out of it.

nice bird point and brewerton side notch??

I guessing its a rowan not sure tho? Yeah I thought at 1st it was broken but I'm almost possitive it isn't broken and made a tang knife out of it as well. Its not snapped that chunk gone was knapped off

Wonder why they would break a perfectly good point like that then? It does look like the bottom was worked after the large section came off. Looks like they were trying to set up step fractures and blew the bottom out. I do not think they removed the large section on purpose though not saying they did not mess with it after the break. Just my guess.
I have been wrong before.

Tn im always wrong about everything just ask my wife.. i see what your saying about setting up steps but i dont think there was anything chipped off where i highlighted

Yeah i don't think it was done on purpose but they used it anyway which makes it very unique

I like the uniface side with horizontal knapping half way down, I've never found that type of knapping before

 

[GatorBoy]

I think it may need to be pointed out that it was built to be Hafted off center.that may be where the confusion is.

You are right on the picture it all broke off as one piece. They had their form and was trying to reduce it down. Haha tell your wife she needs to read here where you are most often right !

 

[Tnmountains]

I think it is a good find regardless because it provokes thought and makes you think and discuss the possibilities.
