NC Construction Site Find

[Carlos2295]

While trekking a construction site near our apartment about a month ago, I found this awesome Guilford point. This is only the 2nd point I've ever found, but it seems like one of the best I'll ever find. I do believe it is made of rhyolite, as Guilford points are made from quartz, quartzite, rhyolite, and occasionally chert (according to projectilepoints.net). From the size of it, I'm guessing it was a spearhead or knife blade.

Beautiful artifact and looks old.

Allright, good for you. How long is it? Keep looking and I'll bet you find more and maybe better.

It's about 3.5 inches long.

Do you think it might be a blank? From the pic, it doesn’t look like there is a lot of edge work.. either way, it’s an awesome find!

Great looking piece, but it's not a Guilford Point. They have a distinct shape and are long and slender. That is most likely a Knife form of some type.

A Scraper...? To separate skin from "meat"...? Looks like a "palm" section...

Got any pictures with a ruler so we can see size?

I'm thinking knife too and very nice one! Looks like the gray flint I find in my area but I could be wrong. It's a very awesome find!
