Halifax Point

Halifax Point

white quartz, 1 inch long

Late Archaic Period 3500 BC

Found May 7, 2005 on hiking trail, Occoquan, Virginia.

Anne and I were spectators at a crew meet that Kelly was competing in. While we were hurrying along the trail through the woods to get from the starting line downriver to the finish line I noticed this white rock in the brown dirt and its shape immediately caught my eye. After I washed it off, it showed up as a nice little brilliant white projectile point. We looked for others, but just found ordinary rocks (and an old unfired .22 caliber bullet).
