Agate Basin Point   Save
Eber Hyde Collection
Description: This leaf-shaped blade tapers from the center to a squared base; it is of the Agate Basin type. There is no evidence of grinding on the margins or the base. This piece is made of mottled grayish blue and pale blue Upper Mercer flint and comes from Late Paleoindian Culture. Paleoindians occupied Ohio between 15,000 and 9,000 years ago. In the western plains of North America, Paleoindians hunted mammoths and other game; because they moved in herds, caribou may have been a favored prey. View on Ohio Memory.
