CUMBERLAND POINT This point is remarkable for the fact that it was made on a core blade. The edge view clearly shows the flat surface on one side. This side actually has a small flute or thinning flake that measures 3/8 inch (9 mm) long. It's a rare occurrence when a Cumberland point does not show a flute. The other side has a simple narrow flute measuring 1 1/4 inches (3.2 cm) long. There is no provenience for this point. This Cumberland point is made of Saint Genevieve chert and it measures 4 5/16 inches (11 cm) long and 5/16 inch (7 mm) thick.
