Undocumented Artifacts from the First Ohioans Exhibit
Description: This projectile point is made of gray flint that is darker at the stem. It has a triangular blade and deep, narrow corner notches; the base is straight. On one face there is a cavity with a crystal inclusion. This point is of the Brewerton Corner-Notched type. Brewerton Corner notched points are found in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, southern Michigan, and Indiana. They are characterized by wide shoulders (the wide area above the notch). This particular point is 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. View on Ohio Memory.
