Corner-Notched Point

Corner-Notched Point (Bassett Point?)

light gray chert, 2 inches long

Late Woodland or Mississippian Period 1000 to 1800 AD

 

Found spring 1986 on a hiking trail, northern Kettle Moraine, Wisconsin.

I was bringing up the rear while hiking with friends when I spied this point in the middle of the trail. It looked like one of the dry willow leaves that were scattered all over, but for some reason it caught my eye as being just a little bit different.
