Post some notched artifacts if you have them; here's a few that I've found. They don't come by to often for me but it's always nice when they do.

Nice points! Started looking in April 2023 and have been addicted ever since. These are just a few of the ones I have found in the last year.

Greenbrier Co, WV

If I found this one I would call it a Wade in Georgia, nice finds

Hell of a frame right there.

My last one
Tip and ear ding

 

[OntarioArch]

They liked that one. It was resharpened several times, even the tip when it broke.

That's what so interesting to me about this hobby....the morphology of an artifact can reveal specific actions, specific crafting techniques, of the artisian....4000 years ago!

Man that is beautiful.

Her is my favorite. This was found near a small Hot Springs on a ranch in Nevada. There must have been a 100 cows walking around that area. There were tracks all over right next to this. How it kept from getting broke I will never know. Just a small chip on the tail. The workmanship on this to get such a fine needle tip and so thin is amazing to me.

this notched hoe was found in 1907 by Willie Jefferson in St Clair Co Illinois, is was presented to H M Wheply, a prominent st Louis Missouri doctor.

grass use polish and use grooves can be easily seen in the bit area.

this is the best notched hoe in my collection and one of the best around. Ben Thompson tag 8738.
That is a beaut. Still don't have any in my collection. A couple of broken axes but I'm always looking.View attachment 2151167

Nice; I see why that's a favorite 👍

Here's one that's literally a one notch; the other side was reworked.

That’s a interesting one Mike

Here's one I could never figure out. It had been rechipped when the ear was broken. Why that configuration I have no clue. Looks like a Citrus point, nice coral material.

Almost looks like a hafted knife.
