A Henderson County, Kentucky find from along the Ohio River--you don't find too many Adena artifacts away from the river, those peoples--unless a piece was lost while they were hunting dinner--their artifacts are found on the banks of area rivers. Where the Adena (and Hopewell Peoples) camped, they made innumerable points and preforms like this 2&13/16" by 1&1/2", 3/8" thick preform either lost or more likely buried to keep the flint "fresh"--for later use...flint dries out, it is then harder to fashion into finished-out points. Having hunted incalculable hours, lol, along the Ohio, Woodland sites in particular, you find spring flooding washed out points and blades exactly like this, pieces that may have been cached for later finish-out--they don't have all the 'use-made dings' of field finds, and (in general) the patina is exactly like this piece. My own personal found collection had pieces that'll exactly match the patina, so that's why I can give this piece a 100% guarantee. The type hornstone used shows tiny white 'dots' that are fossils--the shape, what I expect was that this would, when needed, have been 'stemmed' as an Adena point--it doesn't have the "North Blade shape" of a Snyders point.(the Hopewell's preferred preform outline). Shipping is $8.00, checks or M.O.s are how I receive payments. Sorry, I do not use paypal-type services--Roy A.
