Opinions needed on South Georgia Point

[antmike915]

One of my early finds in Dougherty County Georgia, it's 3 1/4 by 2 3/8. I'm absolutely terrible at typing them so I'm guessing Morrow Mountain. Opinions are greatly appreciated, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. This is really thin for its size.

That's a tough one to type. Nice big point.

I dunno. Sumter, Putnam? Not a dead ringer for either, but it reminds me of them. I like it though.

This is where typing stuff gets hard. There are so many that come close. I know I like it..

I don't know what that would be called in Georgia. Here in Virginia it would likely be "Cattle Run", "Island Swamp" or simply "Savannah River varient". Further north, "Koens-Crispin". I believe in South Carolina, "Mack" would be close. It is a Late Archaic "broadspear" style. The base is like Morrow Mountain (which is Mid Archaic) but the Late Archaic ones are bigger, flatter and much more technical to knap.

That's a good though Twisted, but I'm not sure if those are found in South Georgia, I've found a few in Florida.
