This one won't win any beauty contests, but it's the first point I found on my own back in the day. It came from Washington County, RI, and is 1 1/4 inches. Dart point maybe? Arrowhead? Beats the heck out of me.

Nice! It would likely fall into the Wading River type, which is Late Archaic well into later Woodland times.
BTW, Boudreau suggested, based on tip analysis, that most of these so-called "Small Stem" points were used in graving, scoring, boring activities, and not used as projectiles. Really surprised me to learn that.
Also interesting is that they were the product of a quartz pebble industry, and not produced from quarried quartz....Last edited by CMD; 10-09-2019, 05:47 PM.Rhode Island
