Fort Ancient Point   Save
Stanley G. Copeland Collection
Description: This small and narrow Fort Ancient type triangular point was made from red and white flint. The edges of the lower half of the point are deeply serrated and there is a chip missing from the base. This piece is from the Late Prehistoric Period. Several distinctive Late Prehistoric cultures are recognized in different parts of Ohio: Fort Ancient in southern and central Ohio; Sandusky in northwestern Ohio; Whittlesey in northeastern Ohio; and Monongehela in eastern Ohio. These Late Prehistoric groups fished, farmed, and collected wild plant foods throughout Ohio. View on Ohio Memory.
