Auction is for one ADENA arrowhead, recently unearthed in Bath County, Kentucky. Made of hornstone, very thin with a very fine edge and sharp point. Measures 2 1/2" x 1 5/8". The Adena built mounds generally ranging in size from 20 to 300 feet in diameter. The Adena lived in a wide area including much of present day Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky and parts of Pennsylvania and New York. They had well-organized societies since the construction of the mounds took a great deal of effort. The labor of many people must have been required since the Adena had not yet developed more sophisticated means of construction. The large amounts of earth had to be moved by the basket-load. Perhaps for this reason, the mounds were often used more than once. We find in many mounds t are multiple burials at different levels. Over a period of time, the mounds gradually increased in size.
