Age?

[kyphote]

Any thoughts on the age of these items pulled from a small patch of ground in Virginia? All are struck or tooled, some more crudely than others. The larger objects are uniface with all or partial cortex on the flip side. All are the lithic material I'm used to seeing around here (except the black chert) but the style is crude and unfamiliar to me. Happy to send close-ups if needed.

Thanks

The site is mineral rich and borders a quarry. Strangely I’m not finding pottery. That’s the most I can say because we were hit a few nights ago. Here are the Badin tips posted by Virginia Dept of Archaeology:

That's what I thought. What you originally posted looked like typical quarry debitage. From a cobble source? Along the fall line perhaps? Looks like mostly quartzite. That points strongly to Archaic use. As an example, which is fairly typical (at least for the Piedmont/Coastal Plain zone of Virginia), at the Fannin Site, a quartzite (mostly) cobble source on the Nottoway River just over the fall line, of 303 projectile points found, 13 were Woodland, 4 were Paleo and all others where Early, Mid or Late Archaic. i would say until you find pottery, no Woodland component. If in the Southeastern part of the state, a fair chance of finding a Paleo component.

Crap, we’re more west. Cactus Hill country though. Yes, we’re on a fault line. Yes, all cored from cobble. Can’t believe you surmised all that from a pic or two. You know your stuff. Really appreciate the insight.
