Description

Description: Newnan points are typically large, broad, well made triangular blades. Examples range in size from 1.5 to over 5 inches in length. Larger blades are more typical of those dating to the Middle Archaic period. The shoulders meet the stem at less than a 90 degree angle. The angles of the shoulder and stem juncture separate the Newnan, Marion, and Alachua types. The stem is tapering to straight with a rounded or flat basal edge. The size of the stem in relationship to the blade separates the Newnan point from the Hillsborough point (not typically found in Georgia). Stand Not Included
