Ron and Marsha Fowler's Collection
Undamaged re-tipped flint point, similar to a Wade.
CONTEXT:  All items on this page come from a quarter mile span of the 
south bank of the Conecuh River in central Covington County.  This 
section of the river was a significant quartzite quarry site.  An intact 
stratum of quartzite can be found in the upstream riverbed while large 
numbers of  small highly “leached” quartzite boulders can be found in the 
riverbed along the collection site.  All items have been highly displaced by 
wave action and erosion as this location is on the upper end of a 
hydro-electric reservoir developed in the 1930’s.

Not shown in this group:
Numerous rounded hammer stones ranging  10 inches to 3 inches in 
diameter.  These stones are typically non-lithic grade quartzite with a high 
density small fossil matrix that apparently imparts high fracture resistance.
