Projectile Point   Save
Stanley G. Copeland Collection
Description: This point was made from the tip of a deer antler. It is cone-shaped with a hollow interior and is very pale brown and light brownish gray in color. The exterior has been polished and there are three vertical cracks at the base. This piece comes 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.
