If you're not crazy about quartz, southern New England is not the place for you Our most productive field yields ~90% quartz Wading River and Squibnocket Stemmed points. These simple points were products of a quartz pebble industry--no cores, no quarrying, just pick up a quartz pebble and bang out a point. The Mrs. and I have been walking this field for 25 years.
She was spreading them out for a look see last week and I took some photos. As I was telling yakker recently, it's only human to get a wee bit tired of quartz and more quartz, and it's a hard lithic to work, which can result in crude points, but plenty of decent points as well. Hunting southeastern New England means quartz and more quartz. Minority material from this field includes argillite Late Archaic stemmed and Brewertons.
