This one has been sitting on my night stand for weeks, keeping the gears in my head turning. I’ve chewed on it long enough and thought to get some feedback.

To me, it has a resemblance to some of the Savanna River types I’ve seen in OVERSTREET. The type is rare for our region, and when examples have been found, the lithic has been exotic (Quartz is a widespread lithic, and so is no help there)

It looks a lot like (though much larger than) the Rare Burrell Type in Boudreau’s Examples.

That's what I thought, too (wide stemmed like your illustration. People and artifacts traveled easily up the eastern side of the Appalachians. Not to derail your thread, but as an example, this Hadaway T. III of silicified tuff from North Carolina was found at the forks of the Susquehanna in Penna.

So, no reason why it plausibly couldn't be.

FWIW
 
I was thinking Hardaway. I am NOT an expert in point types!
