Connestee Point

This triangular artifact measures between 0.9 and 1.9 inches in size, exhibiting an isosceles profile where the width is roughly half the height. The blade edge is predominantly straight, although some specimens may display a subtle excurvate or incurvate curvature. The base of the point is characterized by a straight edge. Notably, many examples retain remnants of the original cortex on their surface, suggesting a crude manufacturing process. The flaking pattern observed on these points is random, indicating a lack of standardized or controlled flaking technique.

The arrowheads exhibit dimensions ranging from 24 to 47 millimeters in length, 15 to 24 millimeters in width, and 4 to 9 millimeters in thickness.

This projectile is mainly discovered in the Appalachian Mountain range spanning North Carolina and extending into Virginia, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Georgia

In his 1987 study, Keel observes a notable similarity between a particular arrowhead type and the Garden Creek point, with the primary distinction being a reduction in size. This resemblance highlights the potential for misidentification, as individual specimens of this type may be mistakenly categorized as either Camp Creek or Greenville points. Keel's observation underscores the importance of meticulous classification and attention to detail in the analysis of these archaeological artifacts. By recognizing the subtle differences between these point types, researchers can gain a more nuanced understanding of the cultural and historical contexts in which they were crafted and utilized.
