Squibnocket Stemmed point from the Knob

The Knob is a popular stroll in Falmouth - a little peninsula sticking out into Buzzard's Bay. I heard they widened the path and today confirmed that the workers went through at least one archaic site in the process. There are still plenty of little bits of quartz on the path. Found this:

It's so nice: you are walking along chatting with friends, look down, and - what do we have here?! Lots of people walked across it, lying flat in the gravel of the path. The real punch in the gut is realizing there was a person attached to this, at the other end of time.
