This chert arrowhead is a fine example of the ingenuity and skill of Native American flintknappers. The artifact's elongated triangular shape, characterized by a narrow base and a sharply pointed tip, suggests its use as a projectile point, likely for hunting small game or birds. The edges along its lateral sides are finely serrated, a feature that would have enhanced its lethality and effectiveness. The material, a richly hued chert, is known for its durability and capability to hold a sharp edge, ideal for the needs of a hunter-gatherer society. With evidence of wear and impact, this arrowhead is not only a tool of survival but also a testament to the daily lives of the indigenous peoples of North America.
