it has some grinding on the sides of the base, i would say that it started out as an archaic stemmed point

These are drills found by my grandpa in Northeastern Oklahoma. The first one is my favorite and Neanderthal identified it as being a "Calf Creek" drill---its 4" long! (Sorry about the really long pic!)

I use to give my wife a hard time about running her feet through the gravel on our hunting trips.........pretty much thought of it as a waste of time. After she kicked this one out in 2006 I quit giving her any trouble.

OK............I have posted all of these at one time or another but, these are some drills that I have found. The Fort Ancient piece is actually a heavily resharpened knife.

Yeah I'm with you on that, I think alot of heavily resharpened knives are exhausted pieces and often called drills by mistake. You know you have a drill when you see the grinding marks from rotation use. The first " drill " in this pic is imo a heavily resharpened knife, probably a couple resharpenings from drill form. The next four are true drills imo and have the signs of rotation wear on the distal end, the last piece on the right is a salvaged lost lake with a tip worked into a chisel.
