Featured in this lot is this Hardin spear point 7500 - 10000 BP. The large point shows an impressive length of 6 3/4" long and displays expertly knapped serrated edges and flaking, elliptical shape, and a prominent acute shoulder, with a concave base. Points such as these are found in the Midwest region of the United States and typically date between 10,000 - 7,500 B.P. This excellent example of a Hardin spear point shows characteristics of local chert. John Powell named the Southeastern Hardin for examples sparsely scattered across the Southeastern United States. The condition of this spear point shows good overall condition and preservation. The measurements of this point are 4 1/4" x 1 1/8" x 1/4".
