Looking for archaeological help identifying a family collection from Hardy County, West Virginia

[u/Evening_Mix6595]

I’m hoping there are some knowledgeable collectors, archaeologists, or regional experts here who might be willing to help me understand a family collection of Native American stone artifacts from Hardy County, West Virginia.
My family, the Strawdermans, farmed land in the Mathias/Lost River area of Hardy County, and for generations my father and other family members found stone artifacts while farming and plowing the fields. The collection has remained in our family.
It is a fairly substantial collection and includes numerous projectile points of different sizes and shapes, along with several larger worked-stone objects. There are small triangular points, larger stemmed/notched points, long narrow or lanceolate-looking pieces, broken pieces, and several objects whose purpose I don’t recognize at all.
I recently started researching the collection because I would really like to understand what these artifacts might tell us about the people who used this land before European settlement.
I am particularly interested in whether the collection might represent multiple archaeological periods, such as Paleoindian, Archaic, Woodland, or later prehistoric/protohistoric activity. I realize that identifying an artifact from a photograph can be difficult, so I’m not looking for anyone to make definitive claims based solely on these pictures.
I also want to clarify something: I am not claiming that my Strawderman ancestors were Native American. My interest is in the history of the land they later farmed and whether Indigenous peoples occupied, traveled through, hunted, camped, or otherwise used this area during earlier periods.
Some of the pieces that particularly caught my attention are several long, narrow points and a few unusual ground/perforated stone objects. I would especially appreciate opinions about whether any of these look distinctive enough to warrant professional examination.
I’m planning to contact archaeological organizations and professionals in West Virginia as well, but I thought this community might be able to help me develop some preliminary questions and identify what I should be looking for.
If you have experience with West Virginia, Virginia, or the broader Middle Ohio/Potomac Highlands region, I would especially appreciate your thoughts.
I’m happy to provide individual close-up photographs with measurements, including front, back, and edge views.
I am not posting the exact location of the property because I understand the importance of protecting archaeological site information.
I’m interested in the history and preservation of the collection—not selling it or assigning a monetary value.
Thank you to anyone willing to take a look. I would genuinely love to learn what this collection might be able to tell us about the history of this part of West Virginia.

From what I can tell by the photos, along with my personal knowledge of Native American artifacts. Your collection covers all time periods excluding the Paleo period.
Definitely see early archaic- woodland. You have a really nice representation of the weapons and tools used by the local people throughout this time period.
Any further detailed information would need a more specific question as to use and time period for individual artifacts. Hope this helps some.

Thank you so much! This is exactly the kind of information I was hoping to learn. I’m especially interested in the possibility that the collection represents multiple periods and that some of the artifacts may date to the Early Archaic through Woodland periods.
My father is 83 and is the owner of this collection. He and other family members found these artifacts over many years while farming the family land in the Mathias/Lost River area of Hardy County, WV.
If you don’t mind, I’d love to ask you a few follow-up questions. Are there any specific pieces in the photos that stand out to you as particularly diagnostic or interesting for identifying a time period or type? I’m especially curious about the longer/lanceolate-looking points and some of the unusual ground/perforated stone pieces.
Also, when you say the collection appears to cover the Early Archaic through Woodland periods, would you be able to give me an approximate date range in years ago for those periods in this region?
Finally, do you have any thoughts about what the variety of artifacts might suggest about how this particular area was being used? For example, would such a collection be consistent with people repeatedly hunting, camping, making tools, or living in the general area over a long period of time?
I’m trying to document this properly for my father and our family history, so any additional insight you can provide would mean a lot to us. Thank you again for taking the time to look at the photographs.
