Levanna
700–1350 CE, Woodland (Eastern)
The Levanna point is the broad triangular arrowpoint of the Late Woodland Northeast, about 700 to 1,350 CE, named after a site in New York. It armed the earliest bows in the region and is found in enormous numbers. Madison replaces it in later Iroquoian sites.

Diagnostic traits
Broad, thin equilateral triangle with a concave base; width often equal to length.
Identification
Levanna is a broad, thin equilateral triangle with a concave base, often as wide as it is long, unlike Madison, which is narrower and isosceles, and Jack's Reef, which is pentagonal or notched. Edges are straight. Size is small to medium.
Reproductions and fakes
Small triangles are easy to knap and appear in bulk lots; genuine pieces show basal thinning and patina. Values are low so fakes are rare.
