  • Neville

    Neville points first appear in the Middle Archaic Period. They come in both narrow and broad form. The earliest forms display slight bifurcations on the stem and may also be serrated. These early forms resemble Stanly points from further south in the Mid Atlantic. The stems on Nevilles can taper or be nearly square in shape.

    Again, narrow bifurcated forms closely resemble Stanly Narrow blade from further south and are likely related in time and derivation:
