Wabanaki fish spear, 19th c. Historic replica This ash shaft, bone prong (inside), maple leads (outside) and hemp cord spear, called nodamawogan in Abenaki, was used throughout the Northeast. Its design made catching walleye-sized fish easier than a trident. © Jeff Clarke	Toggling harpoon and hemlock bark sheath Historic replica Fish such as muskellunge and larger—up to about 60 pounds—were caught with this ash handled, detachable caribou bone point and rawhide lanyard harpoon. © Jeff Clarke	Sandstone shaft abrader and preform Wampum The groove down the center of this abrader resulted from shaping and polishing the shafts of spears and arrows and possibly from the production of saltwater shell wampum.
