Adena Point   Save
A. T. Wehrle Collection
Description: This small, leaf-shaped biface has a constricted stem. The basal edge is convex and the biface is made of black Upper Mercer flint. This piece comes from Adena Culture. The Adena Culture (800 B.C.- 100 A.D.), named for a mound found on the Chillicothe estate of Thomas Worthington, lived primarily in present-day Ohio and parts of Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia. They built large effigy and burial mounds. The Adena were primarily hunter-gatherers, but began to grow squash and some weedy plants. View on Ohio Memory.
