Greene projectile point

Greene projectile points are stone projectile points manufactured by Native Americans what is now the Northeastern United States generally in the time interval of 300–800 AD.^[1]

Description edit

Greene points are generally about 2 to 4 inches (5.1 to 10.2 cm) long with an average around 2.5 inches (6.4 cm). They are lanceolate in shape with weak or no shoulders and are 2¼ to 2½ times as long as they are wide.^[1]

Age and cultural affiliations edit

Their first recorded appearance is around 400 AD and vanished around 800 AD with the onset of the Kipp Island phase in central New York.^[1]

These points are found primarily in the middle Hudson Valley of New York State, but are found as far east as Massachusetts.^[1]
