Quartz Projectile Point

This projectile point is technically not an "arrowhead," but a dart point that would have been used on the end of a throwing stick. Length = 47mm. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA.

 

This may be a Morrow Mountain II (aka Stark Point), dating from the Middle-Late Archaic (6,800–6,000 B.P.). Alternatively, it may be a more recent (but still very old!) Piscataway Point (3,000–1,700 B.P.). If any experts out there have any thoughts, please let me know!
