Robbins Blade   Save
A. T. Wehrle Collection
Description: This large, leaf-shaped or teardrop-shaped biface was made from gray and very pale brown Flint Ridge flint. The blade is very thin and comes from Adena Culture. The Adena Culture (800 B.C.- 100 A.D.), named for a mound found on the Chillicothe estate of Thomas Worthington, lived primarily in present-day Ohio and parts of Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia. They built large effigy and burial mounds. The Adena were primarily hunter-gatherers, but began to grow squash and some weedy plants. View on Ohio Memory.
