Lamoka Point   Save
Undocumented Artifacts from the First Ohioans Exhibit
Description: This projectile point is of the Lamoka type and has a leaf-shaped blade. Broad, shallow side notches flare out to pronounced ears; the base is straight. This piece is made of very dark gray flint and comes from the Late Archaic Period. People of the Late Archaic were hunter-gatherers, and were among the first in the region to make metal artifacts from copper found near Lake Superior. Lamoka points were found throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania, and portions of Indiana, Michigan, West Virginia, and the Eastern states. View on Ohio Memory.
