Really skinny Neville Point found yesterday-MA

[MAMucker]

Checked out a new local area that I thought had promise. But, from the first step in, the place gave no evidence that the (over)-development left anything behind. I walked till I got bee stung (and ran out of time).

I followed a different road out and spotted this narrow Neville Point (with an ancient tip break). The lithic is Marblehead Rhyolite (which is a fine local lithic)





And the clean-up

My first inclination was a broken drill. A nice find at any rate.

Are you referring to that classic Neville stem?

Since I'm not familiar with the classic Neville form, yes I am.

That would have been a fine piece whole. Still a great find.

But it’s a broken point. Not a drill with an excessive paddle handle.

I wasn't disagreeing with you, just my initial impression as I stated.

Thanks Tdog.
I understand.

That material looks really bad, but the knapping is really good. Pretty amazing for such grainy material. Gary
