Fig. 185.—Chipped flint, large, long sharp point.
I. A similar pattern, but having one end continued into a narrow point, shown in [figure 185], is from Bartow county, Georgia. Another of the same kind comes from Loudon county, Tennessee.
J. Similar to group H, but with the edges straight for more than half the length, probably to afford a more convenient hold for the hand. The form is shown in [figure 186], representing a specimen from Mississippi county, Arkansas. Others are from northwestern Georgia, southwestern Illinois, and northeastern Arkansas. There are a few similar in method of chipping to those of group I, but smaller and very narrow, from eastern and western Tennessee and northeastern Arkansas.
K. Double-pointed or lenticular in outline; quite symmetrical; from 2 to 4 inches long; thin and well worked. Represented in northeastern Arkansas; South Carolina; central and western North Carolina; eastern Tennessee; Scioto valley, and central Ohio; Kanawha valley; and northwestern Georgia.
Fig. 186.—Chipped flint, large.
Fig. 187.—Chipped flint.
L. With straight or concave base; edges diverging by straight or slightly convex lines for about half the length from the base, then curving to the point. There is considerable variation in the relative width of these, as well as the amount of concavity at the base. None with this outline of the edges has a convex base. From 2 to 6 inches long. The form is illustrated by figures 187 (from Lawrence county, Ohio), and 188 (from Blount county, Tennessee). In addition to the specimens figured, there is material in the collection from Scioto valley, Ohio; central and western North Carolina; Keokuk, Iowa; Brown county, Illinois; eastern Tennessee; northeastern Alabama, and Coosa valley in the same state; Kanawha valley; South Carolina; southern Wisconsin; and Savannah, Georgia.
