More than thirty years back I pulled this hornstone/ Cobden Flint point from a S.W. Indiana group. I have never seen any piece of flint fractured, deliberately fractured like this. What was the purpose, what advantage did the piece provide--and HOW did they do it without breaking the piece? I have my own ideas of what culture made the artifact (Early Ovoid Late Paleo), but that may be wishful thinking. There is absolutely no basal edge grinding. One face has a 'glossing agent' applied, could be a varnish or simply a hair spray. The reverse face has a large "vug", a cavity i the flint nodule. Length is slightly over 3&3/16" by 1&7/16": 3/8" thickness in the center. Now, those side fractures, they're so darn symmetrical, where they start, where they end, they're mirror images. The questions are something I'll never get all the answers to, I'm sure, but if you've ever seen something like this, Email or click the "Ask seller a question", I'd like to learn more about oddities like this. Best to all for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday--Roy, Jo, and family
