Hey all. You have a great forum here - not only the NA Indian Artifacts section but I have been reading posts on a few of the others as well - interesting and informative information!
I have a point that my grandfather found when working in his upper central New York State vegetable garden back in the late 40's to early 50's. I am looking for your opinions on classification and what material it seems to be made from and the approximate age. And also what sort of weapon it would have been used on? The stone is very smooth - almost a greasy feel to it - is it flint? Again it was found about half way between Rochester and Syracuse, NY about 8 miles south of Lake Ontario.
I have had it now for many years and always figured it was some sort of Iroquois arrowhead, but after doing some research on my own, I am guessing that it may be a Brewerton side notched point from the Archaic period that was used on the end of a javelin? Any help you all can give is much appreciated.
