Description: This small flint drill with a rounded bit is pale brown in color. The base is nearly three times as wide as the bit end. The bit end shows wear from use and the tip has possibly been broken from use. 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.
