Brewerton Corner-Notched Point   Save
Undocumented Artifacts from the First Ohioans Exhibit
Description: This small projectile point is made of very dark gray flint and 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 has a triangular blade and deep, broad corner notches; the base is straight. This piece 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.
