Brewerton Side-Notched Point   Save
B. R. Bales Collection
Description: This projectile point is 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 triangular blade and shallow side notches. The base below the notches is short and curves slightly inward. This piece is made of very dark gray flint and comes 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.
