Morrow Mountain Point cast

  Morrow mountain points are found throughout the southeast United States, mostly in the area of Virgina down to Florida.   This example was originally made in quartzite, and found in Norfolk, VA.  It measures 1 and 7/8th inches long, and 1 and 1/8ths inches wide.  These projectile points were used as atlatl dart tips throughout the Middle Archaic around 6 to 7,000 years ago.  This example from the Roth Collection in Norfolk, VA, is a classic example of the type and shows excellent workmanship for such a hard to work material.  (cast Copyright Occpaleo 2014)
