They are believed to have occupied Penobscot Bay and the Maine Coast from 4,000 to possibly 8,000 years ago. They are called Red Paint because of the red iron oxide associated with their graves. According to some historians, identical cultures have been found in Norway.

"From a craftsman point of view, you don't just drop your tool," he said, especially one that probably took a week to make.

Guess he's never watched a good contemporary knapper at work. If it took a week to make a single tool, the tribe couldn't afford to feed the guy. The article not only doesn't have a photo, it never describes the tool, but I can't fathom a "tool used for gouging" being very complex. It isn't like chipping out the screw-threads for attaching the nozzel to the air-alcohol rocket motors they used on their canoes....
