Can anyone identify this point. I found it in a church entrance near the Sussex Co. Line in Virginia. It came out of a pile of sand that I think came out of a sand pit near from what I have been told is Catcus Hill. I also own river front property in Sussex on the Nottoway River, not far from what I have been told is the site. Cannot find a match in any of the books that I have. Saw a point almost just like it on Ancient Discoveries, http://iceage.pwnet.org/. 2" long and 3/16" wide, made from a green shale slate material. Not good at rock types. Would have been perfect if a few vehicles had not run over it and chipped the edges.
