Northeast Woodland Native Americans fashioned chert and flint into a variety of tools and points. The size and design of the point depended upon its intended use. Their creation was labor intensive. Ideally, points were retrieved and used over and over again. This chert point has been lashed to a spear haft with sinew, or animal tendon. Sinew bound fresh has the useful trait of shrinking as it dries.
