CUMBERLAND POINT This Cumberland point is referred to as the “Grievo Cumberland.” It was recently rediscovered in an old safe in New Jersey that hadn’t been opened for sixty years. This is an excellent example of a very rare eastern fluted point type. Its most interesting feature is the sharpened edges near the point that were also serrated, an indication that it may also have been used as a knife. It’s made of either St. Genevieve or Fort Payne chert and measures 4 ¾ inches (12 cm) long, 1 3/16 inches (3 cm) wide and 5/16 inch (8.4 mm) thick.
