Stringtown Point   Save
Mr. & Mrs. Ernest Good Collection
Description: This Stringtown point was made from brown flint. It has a rectangular base with small ears that project from the stem. The top half, which is the blade, is leaf-shaped. 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.
