Description

This stone projectile point was found at Fort Albany, a historic Hudson’s Bay trading post in James Bay. It is triangular, was knapped from a larger piece of chert and was recovered from the central courtyard at Fort Albany. While the point is likely Indigenous-crafted, it was recovered within the walls of the fort. This projectile point is representative of the dynamic cross-cultural exchange and relationships of interdependency that emerged during the era of the European fur trade in Canada between European settlers and local Indigenous communities.
