Tools and Weapons

Ceramic cooking pottery became stronger during the Woodland Period. Many pots were stamped with elaborately carved wooden paddles before firing, leaving the impression of the paddle in the wet clay. The designs ranged from geometric forms to forms of animals, insects, and plants.

During the Woodland Period, small triangular stone appeared, and the bow and arrow was used by the Native Americans of this time period. The use of the bow and arrow helped them hunt deer and other animals.The bow and arrow made war more deadly.
