unknown point

[savant365]

I found this point in a river in NW Missouri and I would like to know more about it. I am pretty sure it is made from burlington chert but I don't know what type of point it is or its appoximate age. Thanks, Charlie

It does look like a knife to me but that's all I can guess about....Very nice though

It`s hard to say what kind of spear point or knife you have besides a"keeper"!At first glance,it resembles a"scottsbluff" from the late paleo to early archaic-10,000 to 7,000 years before present.At another look,it could be a woodland-era "Kramer"point,2500-3000 years old.To know for sure ,you could spend years examining chipping and flaking patterns,or,if you are an avid hunter,invest in a book or two on the subject.
I suggest "Overstreet-id and price guide to indian arrowheads"
Nice find! Keep looking down!

I found a point in Michigan almost just like that.

It is the point on the left,

Here is the top one measured for reference, as you can see my point is about the same size and shape.

Never did find anything on it though.

Thats pretty close, if not exactly the same shape. Thanks for the pic, if I ever find out what it is called I'll let you know.

Points of this style are categorized as being from the "Adena "culture, named for a burial site on the estate of Gov. Thomas Worthington near Chillicothe Ohio with the same name. Radiocarbon dating of charcoal from a cremation pit at the site places similar points at 305 B.C.This would classify it as the Early Woodland period (305 b.c--100 b.c.)
