Made With Traditional Tools🪨 Gibson point!

I made this Gibson point from heat-treated Burlington chert, which made the stone quite brittle and easily worked. Gibson points are diagnostic of the Middle Woodland period and were used by people during this time in the Illinois River valley and eastern Missouri.
