New Jersey arrowheads

[bm18]

Hey everyone. These three arrowheads that I attached pictures of were found in central New Jersey (outside of Princeton) near a river on a knoll. Any idea how old they might be or what culture made them?

Im not from your area so I would have to guess on them. The flaking is worn but the little one if found here would be Late Archaic and the 2 bigger ones would be Woodland Period. If found in my area Georgia. Nice finds and welcome to Tnet

Hi and welcome!
Your middle one looks like a pentagonal Jack's Reef. The other two are a little hard to say. The bigger, reddish one is a contracting stem point, the other- broken. Again, hard to say. Some sort of scale would be good- a penny in the picture or something like that. You might want to google search mid-Atlantic region typologies or local New Jersey types for more specific info. Various regions have surprisingly specific data on projectile points! Thanks for the show! Look forward to seeing more Yakker

My guess, FWIW, Poplar Island for first on left and Orient Fishtail for last one over. Not sure of middle point. Good guess by yakker, but the slight side notching leans me elsewhere, just not sure where......
