Name:

“Red Paint”
plummets
Date: 11/4/2006
Description: Catalog # 2006.11.04.WT.76

The five “Red Paint” plummets (in the foreground) were found by my father in the early 1930s beneath a red paint burial on the coast of Maine being dug by Archaeologists. Dad said he was "a helper". He was told there was nothing more below a white sand layer, and not to bother going any deeper, but after the crew went home, he dug deeper, and found these plummets. The Red Paint culture is now believed to have been a trans-arctic trans-continental sea-mammal harvesting culture of 7000 BC. They are famous for the foot-long grey slate chisels or gouges in museums in Norway and Canada, used, it is thought, for making boats of some kind. Apparently they also used plummets for netting something.
