Stringtown Point   Save
Mr. & Mrs. Ernest Good Collection
Description: This Stringtown point is made of brown flint mottled with white. It has a rectangular base with small ears that project from the stem; there is a small chip on one ear. The top half, which is the blade, is triangular. Although early investigators identified Stringtown points as Late Paleoindian, they are more likely to be 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.
