This is about rock piles and stone mound sites in New England. A balance is needed between keeping them secret and making them public. Also arrowheads, stone tools and other surface archaeology.

Pwax -- these points look like they are made of weakly metamorphosed schist or siltstone. The triangle point looks to be of Ceramic period. This is odd material for points, but southeastern Mass. around Assawompsett does not have readily available quarrying sources for the good stuff. Most points are from glacial rubble or imported.
I was trying to remember that phrase "metamorphosed schist" which I think I heard before. Sounds right.
But I do not think it is Ceramic period. I think it is late paleo because I have almost identical points from a spot where there was a small fluted point, as well. So I take this to be "Hardaway-Dalton".
