Collection from where?

[Hill Billy]

I bought these points from a lady whos' father had passed away and he had collected them for years.She wasnt' sure where he found them but thought they may have been from Va or the Carolinas.I thought Molly may recognize some of them.Some are white quartz ,some are clear, not sure about the others.Where do these look like they are from?

You have a couple of really fine crystal quarts, you have the material for the Carolina's but I don't see enough Morrow Mts.for south part of N.C. maybe Va. or E. Tn.

Thankyou for posting the pics for me HB. They are definetly NC/VA points, without a doubt.
You have a variety of types. From Early Archaic 8000BC-5,000BC. Middle Archaic 5,000BC-2,000BC. Late Archaic 2,000BC-1,000BC.
Now NC have similar types to VA but have different names.

First pic I see Stanly, Maccorkle or Kanawha Stemmed, Savanah River Stemmed, Morrow Mountain, Southampton (VA Type), Halifax (VA Type),
Dismal Swamp (Middle point) or Garth Slough, Kirks, Rowan.

Second pic, Large Quartz is a 'Savanah River', probably an hafted blade. Kirks, Otter Creek, Southampton.

Third pic, The Translucent Quartz is an 'Halifax' (VA Type), one of my favourite Quartz type. Guilford Round Base.

If you would like me to be more specific, I can be but would need them split up on each pic.
It's like looking at my own collection.

If I had to hazzard a guess I would say you have WVA/NNC. The Otter Creek throws me a little maybe they are from further up into VA.
Hope this helps you HB.

Nice collection.

Molly.

HB, I would like to see the frame, when finished. I have a nice frame of NC/VA brokes, they still look great.
