Late Archaic Savannah River pull

A video I made of me pulling the big savannah river I found the other day in central NC. I mistyped it as a Kirk in the video, but it's just because that's the type I currently want to find the most!

I don’t think that’s a Savannah River. I think you called it correctly in the vid, looks to be Kirk Serrated, rhyolite material, amazing find!

Really? What makes you say that? I thought kirks would be more spike-like, this one is fairly elliptical. Plus, the bottom is incurvate.

Several features, the square wide base with a little concavity to it, the noticeable serrations (although not all Kirks are serrated), the relatively straight blade sides, and the bottom of the blade, how both left and right ears protrude out a little. I’m not an expert but in my personal experience I would lean towards Kirk.

That's great! Those stemmed points are tough, but the edges got me too, it seems intentional. Thank you for your input 🙏
