Spear point, Hallowell, ca. 550 BCE
Item 23447 info
Maine Historical Society
Not every type of object survives -- wood and fiber objects decay over time, while stone and ceramic items remain relatively stable, even in the ground.
This point is made of translucent stone that was only quarried in Ramah Bay in Labrador. It suggests an early trade network between Native American communities in Maine and the Maritimes.
It was found in Hallowell.
