South Carolina Point ID needed

My nephew found this last week on the beach near Pawleys Island, SC. Is it authentic? Appears to be made from quartz. Any info or insight would be greatly appreciated.

It looks good to me. Quartz is a norm. Here in the Carolinas. Good times down in Charleston!!

Thanks NC field hunter. Any ideas on point shape name. Is it a Palmer or Rowan or something else? Not very familiar with arrowheads. Yes, Charleston is a lot of fun!

I was waiting for him to respond but for what its worth it looks like a Halifax to me.
NC is much closer to you so maybe he has some better info

I'm thinking Gator's call is a good one. Halifax points have a couple of variants. This point fits the mold pretty good. Nice find!!

 

[SCavenger62]

Sounds good. Thank you both for the info!

Thanks for posting

That's definitely a "Halifax" no doubt! Middle to late Archaic 6000 - 3000 BP

very nice find

Halifax is most likely correct. Could also be a Kirk variant. Nice find!

This is the most common Halifax variant found in Halifax VA.



Not the prettiest!

Man! That looks familiar.. I think I wound up with its twin. Probably from the same spot.

Nice find! Looks like a Halifax to me also.

Here's that twin..NC they both look pretty waterlogged lol.

SCScavenger, nice find! I have found some made out of that same material not 10 miles from where that one was found.

 

[outlawatheart]

I think you actually wound up with that piece, not a twin! Lol! Good to see old finds on the big screen! I'm not sure if you knew that Halifax was found in Halifax VA. I think Halifax VA. Is the namesake of those points.

Cool! I didn't know that but glad I do now
