Brewerton Side-Notched Point   Save
Undocumented Artifacts from the First Ohioans Exhibit
Description: This projectile point is made of light gray flint and of the Brewerton Side-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 thick, leaf-shaped blade and shallow, broad side notches; the base below the notches is rectangular. 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.
