    I know you mentioned the bowl site is underwater but I have to ask Was this point found at least near the Soapstone bowl fragment site? Same pond? Close to that area? I ask because Susquehanna and Soapstone bowls area about the same age. As well as Many other types like Orient Fishtail, Perkiomen, Snook Kill, It was the end of the Archaic and birth of Woodland called the transitional period in the North East. Sweet find congratulations on that beauty.

      Same reservoir for sure, but not sure how close. I'll see if I can get a hold of Matt so he can answer that. I wasn't around for those finds unfortunately.

      And why the drilled hole in the bowl? Just curious...

    Hoss, I found a couple of brewertons and a nice quartz ovate knife at the site were I found the bowl fragments. I have two pieces of that bowl that I found within feet of each other, but they don't fit togerther. I think the bowl was probably quite large judging by the contour of the rim. The point I fount in the picture above was found about 1/4 mile from the bowl site.

      A good article starts on page 3 of this old ASC journal. http://www.connarchaeology.org/ASC61.pdf

        I too have found an odd similar site. There is a small knoll that is eroding along a stream where I found a double handfull of grainy Hornfels chips and a pitted nut anvil stone. Down the stream about a mile are several good, prolific N/A sites. On the small knoll, after searching it for over a dozen times, all I've ever found is a few more chips. No projectile points, tools, or anything else. I'm sure some N/A was travelling from one of the village sites along the stream and sat for a while and worked. One odd thing is that very few Hornfels artifacts are found locally. It was definitely a site and a find that tells a story, but what exactly that story is, we may never know.
