A very common Northeastern point type is the Levanna. They are equilateral triangles with a slightly concave base. Blade edges are usually straight. The Levanna is diagnostic of the early late woodland period of the Owasco cultures which preceded the historic Iriquois. The Levanna occurs over most of New England and is morphologically similar to the Carolina's Yadkin point type.
The Levanna can be made from both local and exotic lithics including several varieties of Quartz, Jasper and Rhyolite.
