Bifurcate Points
Bifurcate based projectile points are usually associated with Early Archaic
occupations in southern New England (ca. 9,000-7,000
Years B.P.). Common material types associated with this point include
locally available quartzite, hornfels, and basalt. Examples manufactured
from non-local argillite and chert are not uncommon.
