Adena points are an Early Woodland to Middle Woodland form associated with the Adena culture of the Ohio Valley. These points are more common in those northeastern states west of New England, such as NY and Pa. The blades are ovoid to Lanceolate, and the shoulders are usually weak to somewhat moderate. Large lobate stems are the norm.
