Orient Fishtail is a named point type with a narrow lanceolate blade, sloping shoulders and a flaring stem. Regional forms and dates vary. The Virginia DHR guide assigns it to the Late Archaic–Early Woodland transition, 1400–800 BCE; that interval is a regional type estimate, not a direct date for the museum examples.
