Glen Meyer
Date Range: 1000-1200 CE
Dimensions: These points range from 20-59 mm in length, 14-27 mm in width and 3-6 mm in thickness.
Shape: The lateral edges of these triangular points can vary from concave to convex, but the most common configuration is convex. Bases are always concave and oblique to the long axis. In certain cases, the obliqueness is exaggerated to form a pronounced unilateral barb.
Flake Pattern: Bifacial retouch is irregular and may cover both faces; nevertheless, some specimens are simply edge retouched on the second face.
Material: Most Glen Meyer points were manufactured from Onondaga chert; however, Kettle Point chert was utilized by some of the more westerly groups.
Distribution and Cultural Affiliation: They are found scattered across South-western Ontario from the Niagara Escarpment and Peninsula to the east to Lambton County in the west, and primarily within the Carolinian biotic province.
These triangular points are characteristic of the western early Ontario Iroquois.
