A trip from a while ago

[Fossil_adult]

This hunt is from a while ago. I have found yet another projectile point. This is a potomac point, which dates from the 1600's to the early 1700's. This site is a contact period site, meaning that both native americans and colonists interacted with eachother. I also found a preform, 4 trade beads, and a couple of other broken points and a piece of a pipe. Overall, it was a good hunt. Here are the relics.

Hopefully some whole points will come from that area. Lookks like a tip if one not sure of the other pieces.

agree, nice tip perhaps but not the others.

Its not a tip. If you look closely the bottom has been worked into a U shape. There is no clear fracture here. With the age of this site, I was able to date this to the late woodland period. I know its tricky but if this were a tip it should have a clear line of fracture, instead of a curved U shape on the bottom.
