Nice arrowhead

Thanks for looking. So I am told this is a Morrow Mt. type. It is my first, so I am clueless, but in looking at id charts, I thought it was closer to a Savannah river type? I found this in Durham, NC
I would like to learn more.

Nice point.It looks like a Little Bear Creek to me.I don't have hands on experience with points from your region so that's just a guess.

Looks Morrow Mountain Type 2 to me.

hey ncpaul...nice point...i'm new to this too...i'm in siler city area and find lots of "stuff" in my backyard...i have a couple of posts(last one 2/21 i think if you want see mine)...where in durham did you find it?

Savannah River points can be easily mistaken for Morrow Mt, Stanley, and Kirk stemmed. They are typically made of lower grade materials like quartzite, felsite, argalite, etc.
Your point has the classic Morrow Mt. base. The blade width is just more narrow than the typical example. I'd vote Morrow Mt because of the base, chert material, and flaking, jmo

killer point

Nice indeed!

I would lean more towards Morrow mtn also. Base is kinda wrong for a little bear. Its a killer point with quiet the reputation. Nice find sir.
