Shipping comes with the price on this Spencer or Perry County, Indiana, hornstone Hopewell--you may have to searching through your copy of Overstreet/ Noel Justice 'typology' reference to find a Hopewell shaped like this. The main characteristic is the absolute lack of basal grinding--that's normal for a Hopewell, but not for any Early Archaic point type with a similar shape. Too--and check the photos included, the large flakes are more percussion chipping than the finer 'pressure knapping' of the Early Archaic. Considerable use narrowed the blade near the tip--call it "salvage" if you will, the Hopewell user sharpened his knife to fit his needs--you needed a tool that "did this", you adapted a knife in your 'kit', shaped like you needed. Length is 2&15/16" by 1&7/16", but only 5/16" max thickness. The basal notch isn't damage, it was a "make it fit the handle" notch. If the knife was to be mounted on an antler handle it was FAR easier to notch the base than to grind-away a burr on the antler itself. What I see at the very tip is that the hunter left his knife too close to a cookfire, you see some minor heat 'pop out'. Good knife, real in every detail.
