Native American, Southwestern United States, Anasazi (Ancestral Puebloan), ca. 1150 to 1300 CE. A collection of pottery shards and obsidian and chert projectile point fragments displayed in a modern case. The shards present an assortment of black on white motifs characteristic of the Indigenous peoples of the southwest, and one displays a corrugated surface on the verso. The petite arrowheads are a type once referred to as "bird points," however experimental archaeology has shown that they could easily have been used for hunting large game like deer - birds were much easier to capture with nets. Size of largest (striped pottery fragment): 2" L x 1.4" W (5.1 cm x 3.6 cm); case: 6" L x 5" W (15.2 cm x 12.7 cm)
