A large and well-formed Native American projectile point measuring approximately 3½ inches, recovered in Pennsylvania and crafted from knapping-quality chert typical of the Northeastern United States.

This artifact displays strong bifacial flaking and visible percussion scars, reflecting the skilled lithic craftsmanship practiced by prehistoric peoples across the Eastern Woodlands. The elongated blade form and worked base suggest it likely functioned as a spear point or cutting tool mounted to a shaft or handle.

Points of this size were versatile tools used in hunting, processing game, and general camp tasks.

Highlights:

• Length: Approximately 3½ inches
• Material: Chert / Flint (microcrystalline quartz)
• Technique: Bifacial knapping with visible flake scars
• Region: Pennsylvania, Northeastern United States
• Form: Elongated blade with worked base suitable for hafting

The weathered surface and patina are consistent with age and long-term burial, giving the piece strong character and authenticity.

A great example of prehistoric stone tool engineering and Native American craftsmanship, ideal for collectors of lithic artifacts and Eastern Woodland archaeology.
