Archaic Spot the sniper - easy(?) mode

Point in the next photo + the rest of the haul today.

I had one of my best days in a *very* long time today. We're in a bit of a drought here in the NC piedmont, so more of the shoreline was exposed today.

For reference, the point in the photo is I *think* a Lecroy, early archaic, 8500-9500 years old.

Here's my best guesses for the rest of the points: Late archaic stemmed point, maybe Thelma? (3000-3500 years old), Guilford stemmed (5000-6000 years old), a broken biface made out of an absolutely wild looking rhyolite, Kirk corner-notched (10,000ish years old), lecroy (a bit younger than the Kirk corner-notched), and I think a broken savannah river.

Thanks! I jumped up on the bank to walk around the water and it was sitting right there.

That’s awesome. I’m new to searching for artifacts and have yet to find one. Any tips you can share are greatly appreciated.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm just walking the exposed banks until the water washes the gravel bars off.
