10 Old Copper Culture Artifacts from the McCollum Site (ca. 2000-1000 B.C.E.), southeastern Lake Nipigon, Ontario, Canada. This site’s materials (such as Knife River Chert) show connections with Wisconsin, Manitoba, and the northern Great Plains. [1024 x 742]

Each artifact here was cold-hammered and annealed, not smelted. There is no evidence yet for smelting in the Old Copper Culture.
