Many of these primitive tools belonged to various tribes of the Algonquian peoples who primarily inhabited West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. They are most likely descents of the Adena culture that once dominated the entire Eastern Woodland geographics. These are some of the earliest tools found from these Indigenous peoples.

A selection of Fort Ancient culture tools, including awls, discoidals, pipes and projectile points on display in a museum in Maysville, Kentucky . Some of the articles are from the Fox Fields site.

THE LEGEND OF INDIAN ROCK (SOUTH BEAVER TOWNSHIP, PENNSYLVNIA) 🪓

admin — Mon, 24 Jun 2024 18:06:37 +0000

So many Beaver County folks, hikers, Indian enthusiasts, etc. have wondered about this mysterious monolith and its mystical interpretation. I submit, with confidence, that this historic/partial megalith was NOT carved by Native Americans in this region. Indigenous peoples in our area did not build in stone; they lacked the tools to do so. What they did do with stone was create weapons; consequently, this is one of the primary reasons there is little evidence of their passing in our area. That said, this is an intriguing piece of historical parchment in our region. I made this film almost 10 years ago. It is still relevant to any modern discussion. Please share your thoughts. Thank you!

LATE WOODLAND PERIOD ARROWHEADS

I discovered these along the Ohio River in Beaver, Pennsylvania back in the Spring of 2024. They may be dated to the LATE Woodland period; they are a rough example of arrowheads from the area and are quite tiny in composition. Nevertheless, the pair do display a pristine example of Indigenous weapon/hunting making material.
