Indian Arrow Head
Arrow heads—or, more properly, projectile points—are the stone, metal, bone, or antler components of prehistoric weaponry designed to penetrate and impart a lethal wound. Most of the arrowheads were made of stone, manufactured by means of percussion and pressure flaking. The process of stone flaking (or knapping), in which a stone is gradually diminished in size until the desired shape is obtained, required great skill, which could be developed only through long practice. Stone Points - Arrow heads These inexpensively priced points, knapped from light gray colored Stone, average 1-1/4” to 2” in length and are great for arrow making or display purposes.
