I think I’ve asked before but I don’t remember if anyone knew, any ideas why so many Florida/Georgia points are so broad compared to everywhere else?

I was told once it’s due to the size of the material they had to choose from. Once in a while I find something over 2 inches but not very often cause the larger stones just aren’t available. South Georgia has Coastal Plains chert in big nodules. Black chert smaller.

Broad as in wide or length in general?

Width to length, seems to be a lot more from that area than most.
