Its been about 3 weeks since I have found a whole point. Whew, I broke the dry spell and its blue flint.
The rest were broken. HH, rock
Eared Yadkin?

Pottery and points good hunt .

I just dated the pottery and got a name for it. It dates the same time frame as the point.
Pottery, Wright Check Stamped
Middle to late Woodland period
The point dates 2500-1700 so probably closer to 1700 due to the age of the pottery.
Thanks southfork

I love that blue material... nice little point.. it looks like a Bakers Creek to me... woodland

 

[Charl]

Both nice finds, pretty lithic too.

I love the blue point Rock…that color will stand out among all the black ones you save.

 

[NCPeaches]

Yay! Beautiful blue point and pretty pottery shard too! Good finds! Were they field or creek finds?

In the field. I had to field wash the point when I found it. You can only rub the dirt off so much.

I really like the black ones but I don't find many blue ones. I almost walked rite past it.

 

[Americus]

That is a nice one Rock. Thanks for sharing.

Just for curiosity sake I started noticing the material looks a lot like Tennessee's blue material so I checked out some Tennessee points... it looks like it could be a Brewerton eared triangle since your so far up in the state.
..... Or not.....

The base is wrong for a Bakers Creek it does have short ears and small notches above the base. That's why I thought Eared Yadkin. I have found a Bakers Creek out there but it was about a mile up from that spot. I found this one in almost the same spot last month.

 

[GatorBoy]

Yadkin have concave bases

Rock,
That is a sweetheart little point you've got there! Congratulations to you on that one.

 

[old digger]

That point is a dandy! Neat find!

 

[curious kat]

Wow rock...that's a pretty blue one, so for you! And the sherd is really neat, looks like a "plant" fossil sort of. What a good day for you.
