This picture shows
seven of the eleven Cumberland
points that were found on the Trinity site. They were
collected over
a period of several years by surface
collecting and excavating a
small area of a cultivated
field. Most of the points were assembled
from multiple
fragments that were broken from heavy equipment used
in normal farming activities. Two or more of the points
in this picture have some restoration. The point in the
center has some restoration to both "ears" and the point
to the right of it has some restoration on the edge. The
top left
point fragment is believed to be made of Upper
Mercer chert, the
long point in the center is made of Paoli
(Carter Cave) chert and
the rest of the points in this picture
are made of Wyandotte chert.
The complete and nearly
complete points range in size from
3 7/16 inches (8.7 cm)
to 4 3/8 inches (11.2 cm) long. Some, but not all, of the
points in this picture are casts.
