Found this on the side of an old log skidder trail while looking at deer sign. Hope someone can identify it. I can only guess at maybe late woodland.

I admittedly don't know much of anything about these, just thought all were Indian arrowheads maybe couple hundred years old. Adding this short info for others like me, hopefully it applies to your find regarding a big sandy:

The Archaic Side Notch period is primarily associated with North America, dating from approximately 8000 to 1000 BCE. This period is characterized by the development of distinct projectile points known as side-notched points, which feature notches on the sides for hafting onto arrows or spears.

Key Features
  • Cultural Context: The Archaic period follows the Paleo-Indian period and precedes the Woodland period, marking significant advancements in tool technology and subsistence strategies.
  • Geographic Distribution: These artifacts have been found across various regions, particularly in the eastern United States.
  • Subsistence: People during this time were primarily hunter-gatherers, utilizing a diverse range of resources, including plants and animals.
  • Technological Innovations: The side-notched points represent a shift towards more specialized hunting tools, reflecting changes in hunting practices and social organization.
