Waubesa

(referred to often though incorrectly as “Adena Waubesa”)

Associated Dates: 2100 – 1650 Y.B.P.

Description (by J.C. Floming, artifact News Online Newspaper, Arrowheadsplus dot com):

“The Waubesa point is thin to medium thick showing large percussion flakes with very fine secondary edge work. It has a contracting stem which is not ground. The blade is triangular and the widest area of the blade is at the shoulders which are often weakly barbed. This point type is often very colorful as it is most often made of heat treated cherts. It is found in northern Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, south eastern Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and north eastern Oklahoma. It is attributed to the middle Woodland Hopewell culture (100BC to 350AD).”
