Art takes many forms. Some art is simply for the sake of it, some art is functional.

I found this Native American projectile point this past April in Massachusetts, a relative stone’s throw from where the Mayflower landed. It’s estimated to be several millennia old, from the archaic period.

Similar to the point I found yesterday and shared on Damus, I help but wonder it the person who created this tool also considered it to be a work of art. Or was it simply functional? In any case, I’d bet they were proud of it.

Let me know if you’d like me to share most stuff like this on Damus. Still new to the platform…
