Broken Spear Point

broken spear point (Bulverde Point ?)

coarse gray chert, 1.5 inches long

Mid Archaic to Woodland Period 3000 BC to 800 AD

Found August 1986 on shore of Rainy River, northern Minnesota (across international border from Canada). The upper right edge of the point has broken away, possibly as a result of an impact fracture when the point hit something hard.
