Indian Projectile Points Found in Michigan

Author(s): Edward J. Wahla

Year: 1969

Summary

This is a short discussion of some flint materials employed by the Indians in the production of local projectile points and should prove of interest to amateur archaeologists, especially for those with little knowledge of local geology or mineralogy. This non-technical study of locally occurring points is a slightly altered version of the series appearing in "Artifacts", the bulletin of the Clinton Valley Chapter of the Michigan Archaeological Society.
