Man, that's a nice one. Looks like fairly good grade NC rhyolite.

Found in near a old reservoir bout 20 miles south of the NC line as the crow flies. Reckon it’s a spear point ?

I’m no expert. I would tend to believe with the slant a little by the base is may of been a knife deal.
Just a guess.
Let’s see what the more advanced say.

Those Savannah River points were made in the late Archaic, when the atlatl was the main weapon. I think they were used both as atlatl dart points and knives. I'd say most of the bigger ones were used maily as knives. I've found a couple over the years that have worked broad round tips that were likely used for carving the insides of soapstone bowls.

Creek bed feeding a reservior
Closest thing I've found on a creek bed is the top half of a broke that had happen to work it's way down on the edge of a spring head. It was steep terrain in a valley about 300 yds from the ridge(2800 ft). I was stoked even being a broke as it was the first crystal quartz I'd found serrated. I looked forever for the bottom half to no avail.

Of the hundreds of points I've found over the years, exactly one of them came from a creek. A nice little Yadkin arrowpoint with a nice patina.
