GUILFORD
Type : Lanceolate
Time Period : Middle Archaic 5,000 BC-4,000 BC
Description: Guilford Lanceolate. The Guilford Lanceolate projectile point type is defined by "a long, slender, but thick blade with straight, rounded, or concave base" (Coe 1964:43). Coe (1964:44, 118), based upon excavations at the Doerschuk and Gaston sites in North Carolina, has suggested that the Guilford Lanceolate type dates from about 5,000-4,000 B.C. (i.e., Middle Archaic period).
