Robbins Point   Save
A. T. Wehrle Collection
Description: This long, leaf-shaped flint point is of the Robbins type. The blade is reddish gray, while the stem is slightly lighter in color. The basal edge is slightly convex. 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.
