2,000 year old obsidian blade from Yellowstone discovered in Ohio mound
Somebody carried volcanic glass from the Yellowstone region to Ohio nearly 2,000 years ago.
At the Hopewell Mound Group, one obsidian point measured more than 17 inches long. Far beyond an ordinary hunting point.
Chemical analysis traces the material back west. The people, their route, and what passed between them are harder to recover.
We have the stone. Imagine having the account of that trip.
Any stone-masons out there who can exactly replicate the curvature of this mortarless wall using only chisels & hammers?
