This Late Archaic Morhiss point from the Morhiss Mound site bears traces of asphaltum, like many other dart points from the site. This pattern shows that asphaltum was used as a hafting adhesive to affix stone tools onto wooden handles or dart shafts. Although asphaltum is sometimes soft, mixed with fibers it must have formed a strong bond. TARL Collections.
