Good afternoon!
This post is related to a point I found earlier this month, near the Charles River, in Newton MA. It is a felsite point, with very nice flaking. I believe the lithic source is Westwood MA, as it appears very similar to the description of Westwood Felsite, with small white chrystals. It was in soil that had been moved from an unknown location, during construction of a bridge.
This was another find that happened when I wasn’t really looking. I was visiting a spot with a friend, who was showing me around, and I saw just a tiny bit of this sticking out of the side of a burm, basically unrecognizable as a point. Imagine my suprise to find this beauty!
It appears to be a Meadowood point. It has very small ears, which may not even be visible in the photo. That would put it in the 3k yr old range, roughly.
Other than that, there isn’t much to it! It’s just a nice peice that I wanted to share with you. If you have any remarks you would like to make about this post, feel free.
Thanks for looking, and happy hunting
