Summary

Multiple views of a bifurcate point, identified by Kevin Smith and photographed by Nathan Arndt.

Length = 26 mm, Width = 19.4 mm, Thickness = 8.4, Early Archaic, Onondaga chert

Complete but heavily reworked LeCroy type bifurcate point with long, expanding haft element ending in a bifurcated base with downturning, rounded ears flanking a bifacially thinned concavity. Blade expands at a nearly 90° angle from the hafting element but the form of the shoulders can't be determined because the blade has been reduced through retouching to a stub. The distal end has been unifacially retouched to form a convex scraper bit, heavily rounded through use.
