Northeast Hardaway Variants
Three Hardaway Amigos
Posted by [CMD]:
Forum buddies Chris Gode and Jeff Matteson stopped by Saturday and brought along the rare (for this far northeast) Hardaway Side-Notch points each had found. Since I had also found one of the 15 examples known to the late New England typology guru, Jeff Boudreau, I was able to get a group shot of all 3. I had never seen Chris's find, nor he mine. From left to right are mine, made of argillite (argillaceous slate), Chris, not sure of the material but might be hornfels , and Jeff's fine quartzite example, which shows its' serrations in sunlit photos.

It is cool that way. And I met Jeff because he posted his Hardaway on a forum. And because Chris had found one, I remembered a point I had that I thought looked like a Hardaway when I found it years ago. And so it was. 3 Amigo Hardaways and 3 amigos who call this forum home.

Thanks, folks. I should add that although Jeff Boudreau was only aware of 15 examples of this type from New England, there are certainly more out there, both waiting to be found, as well as unrecognized in existing collections.
