About this object
Narrative
Percy F. Broughton is thought to have collected this artifact while he served as a missionary with the Church Missionary Society, in Lake Harbour on Baffin Island, from 1911-1912.
Physical description
Stone projectile point, triangular in shape. The base is wide with rounded corners. Straight sides taper toward a narrow point. In profile, the object is slightly convex on both top and bottom. Dorsal and ventral sides each have two ridges running from the bottom corners to meet at the top. Many diagonal scratches can be seen on both surfaces. The point of the object is somewhat blunt, but the sides and particularly the bottom have been slightly flaked to sharpen.
