The maker of this point sculpted its surface to perfection, interplaying the light blue and brown colouration of the chert. The swirling surface has the appearance of unspoilt windswept snowscapes. The edge of the point is sharp, making it a formidable tool. This point is possibly Late Woodlands, 500-1650 A.D., Daniels Triangular Point.
The point measures approximately 1 1/2" / 3.8 cm.
Ochre brown colour, notched, 3.2 cm (1¼ in) length.
Grey, rounded base, 6.4 cm (2½ in) length.
