A Wabash River site, the farmer and his family collected on for generations produced this super thin (3/16" max thickness) Jacks Reef--very late Hopewell, phasing into the Mississippian Period, some of the first "true" bow-and-arrow arrowheads. The point is made of a variegated Hornstone--striped, if you want a simpler way of saying it, great material,2" by 7/8". Note on the one face there is heat damage due to a cooking fire right off the side of the tip--tasty flint chips with your rabbit dinner, it looks like. It doesn't look like there was a salvage attempt to 'clean up' the heat damage, the point wasn't shortened of re-tipped--so the heat pop-out may not have affected the piece being reused--or, maybe it simply was NOT reused--it survived as-is. One additional note for those who study 'characteristics': there IS basal edge grinding. Basal grinding isn't normally associated with Jacks Reef points, but this one is definitely ground. Every detail is guaranteed authentic. Shipping is included with the price, checks or M.O.s are welcomed. Sorry, I do not use paypal--Roy A.
