Shark tooth...Nope

tools and pottery are always good indications of camps/villages.
If it was on a sand bar in a river it could have come from anywhere up river.

In my opinion you should find more, but maybe not another drill. Possibly a hide scrapper or an arrowhead next. You'll just have to look and see what reveals itself to you. Happy Hunting!

My anthro book is in the garage buried. It covers all sorts of different styles of points. It looks familiar...but it wont be dug out today...

That is neat, whatever the final verdict is. It's fun to research the tribes in your area. The problem is that other tribes would come through and there would be wars. So, there is no way to be certain who's point, drill, etc. it is. The couple I found were most likely from the Susquehannocks, I found out from research. They were a very interesting, fearsome tribe who reportedly had thighs as big around as a man's chest.

East coast obsidian? Thought that was more of a western thing...came a long way maybe

 

[AntiqueMeds]

more likely a black flint, not uncommon in western VA

Waiting on a reply from the College of William & Mary PaleoIndian Archaeologist.

Apparently Obsidian is found locally here in VA, and VA was called out on a website I was reading as the only East coast state that has it. Not sure if that is true, but we do have it.
