Photo description:
Scott Stephen, an historian at Parks Canada, showcases a few artifacts in the collections at the Parks Canada office in Winnipeg that were recovered from various digs at the forks and area. Metal Projectile Point (21K4S3-1): Recovered from the site of Fort Gibraltar I, 1984. This is a ferrous tanged projectile point; the tang (a protruding shaft designed to connect with a handle) would have been used to haft (fit) the projectile point onto a shaft. Sharpening and filing scrap barrel hoops was another means of creating metal projectile points, of which this object maybe one. This artifacts waxy appearance is attributed to the microcrystalline wax applied by an artifact conservator to conserve the metal by protecting it from the moisture in the environment. 150924 - Thursday, September 24, 2015 - MIKE DEAL / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS
