Title	Brewerton Side-Notched Point
Subject	Prehistoric peoples Projectile points Weapons, Prehistoric
Time Period	Late Archaic
Description	This small, black flint 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 straight base that is slightly ground. The point is widest at its base and there are shallow side notches. The blade is short and triangular; it has probably been extensively reworked. This piece is 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.
