Description
This
gently
curving
,
roughly
rectangular
antler
plate
was
used
as a
hoe
. The
proximal
end
is
roughly
rounded
and the
distal
end
is
ground
to a
fine
edge
. The
excurvate
surface
is
also the
exterior
surface
of the
antler
. The
incurvate
surface
reveals
the
porous
,
interior
structure
of the
antler
. The
antler
is
very
pale
brown
in
color
. This
piece
comes
from
Whittlesey
Culture
.
Between
A.D
.
600
and
1200
,
Late
Woodland
cultures
lived
in
much
of
northeastern
Ohio
. They
grew
corn
and
squash
at their
summer
villages
and
spent
the
winter
and
spring
seasons
in
small
hunting
or
fishing
camps
.
About
A.D
.
1150-1200
,
several
factors
changed
the
lifestyle
of these
Late
Woodland
groups
.
Among
these were
new
ideas
that
spread
from
Fort
Ancient
people
in
southern
Ohio
, the
introduction
of
beans
as a
crop
, and a
shift
in
climate
that
made
farming
more
productive
. The
result
was a
new
culture
,
known
to us as
Whittlesey
. The
Whittlesey
Culture
is
named
for
Charles
Whittlesey
, a
19th
century
scientist
who
studied
archaeological
sites
in
northeastern
Ohio
. The
people
of the
Whittlesey
culture
hunted
,
fished
,
farmed
, and
collected
wild
plant
foods
like
other
Late
Prehistoric
groups
in
Ohio
.
Bows
and
arrows
were their
primary
hunting
weapons
.
Whittlesey
villages
were
small
and were
located
near
the
coast
of
Lake
Erie
as
well
as in the
uplands
. They were
occupied
mainly
during
the
summer
months
;
winter
and
spring
were
spent
in
small
hunting
and
fishing
camps
.
After
A.
D
.
1400
,
Whittlesey
villages
were
larger
,
often
fortified
, and
located
in the
uplands
of
major
river
valleys
. The
larger
villages
, with
some
houses
up
to
60-feet-long
, were
generally
occupied
year
around
.
