A Dubois County, Indiana, area point--a Hopewell, made of a fossil-bearing type of Indiana Hornstone--GREAT color, 1&7/8" by 1&1/4"--the point is very thin at slightly over 3/16" max thickness. The piece, based on the dulling of the basal edge may be a Late Hopewell, somewhat more related to the finely made Lowes and Bakers Creek types; those two "late" Hopewells, the culture started using basal edge grinding. One minor note I'll include is that when the point was made (about 1800 BP) the knapper ran his one shoulder all the way to the edge of the flint preform--pics should show the one barb and the edge right above that barb conform to the shape of the preform--it's not a 'stack', simply a flat edge that the knapper finally said "I can't do any more with this...or I'll break it" He knew when to quit, the point shows that exceptional skill--and patina. Shipping is $9.00. Payments can be by checks or money orders, but I do not use paypal-type services--Roy A.
