I found a fun one

[CoilyGirl]

This part of a point was found in Williamson, County Tennessee on top of the ground by me. I think it is super cool how the white part of the flint on the left looks like a point. I wish I had found the rest of it to see how big it was. Any ideas as to the type it was?

That is nice looking material.

Possibly Adena or Table Rock I find the black and white once in a while. Quartzite by the looks of it

The white does appear to be quartz, is the flint sharpened like it was a tool? Nice find.

Yes the gray flint part is sharpened like a broken arrowhead. Thank you.

Off topic but here is the atlatl I dug in 2014. Do ya’ll think it is an atlatl? I was told that but have no idea. I live in Middle Tennessee where there were Woodland as well as Mississippian period mound builders.

How big is it? Might be a knife

Page 435, Overstreet Arrowhead Guide. Morrow Mountain (type). Possibly 9000 years old! Similar types found in TN and KY. Value: $12-$24. Nice find! I am not an expert on arrowheads. Further research required! ╦╦C

The base is chipped up making it fairly difficult to ID. It looks like a side notched point so I'm not thinking Morrow Mnt. There are so many side notch forms from that area it could be one of several types. A nice field grade one though.

It is exactly three inches long.

I will have to look up that type. Thanks TerryC.

Could be and Adena but it looks more like a Kirk to me. They tend to be thicker and bigger than most Adenas. Just my thoughts.
