A few of eastern North Carolina quartzite-

These are backlit. The big blade bottom center is about 5 1/2". The large knife to the right of that is actually not quartzite, but is a moss agate that is beautiful green and gold.

The second frame are all colors of quartzite from along the Roanoke River NC. The cobbles thickly cover the ground in some places in the flood plain- clear, red, yellow, orange, green, white and mixtures sometimes. This was a major source of tool material in the Archaic period in eastern NC.

Connecticut Archaic Quartzite


These two are from the same site what do you think? Maybe made by the same guy. found about seven feet from each other. These are called Neville points, an early archaic type.

Big ole Vosburg point

Here is another view of the two Neville points I love the symmetry on those two.

Thanks, everyone. Nice points, Hoss. Funny, those were found only a short distance west of me, but much different quartzite. It was pretty much a local material.
