I found this knife in Sweetwater County, Wyoming and it is very, very thin...I am told its Archaic but any opinions would be great..

Welcome to the Forum. Very nice first find. Wow! I would have to agree Archaic at least.

I have been told Paleo as well as Clovis...they say I need to find something else that has a base that can be classified...

I'm not the expert on here, but have patience, and the right person will answer your question. It is old though.

Gary. Did you find it in a field, creek, lakeshore? Gary

Cool spot. What made you look in this spot? Have artifacts been found there before?

First off, I must compliment you on your pictures.That is a very nice blade. I am not up on Wyoming pieces but I would say also Archaic at least. As others have told you, A Paleo piece found in the area would really nice!
It is better to burn out than fade away.
