Arrowheads weren’t just tools—they were often traded like money. Tribes valued them for their usefulness and skillful craftsmanship, making them a form of early currency in Native American trade long before coins came along.

An impressive, visually striking collection of 15 authentic Native American arrowheads, representing various Northeastern Woodland traditions.
Unearthed from regional surface finds, these hand-flaked points show a rich diversity of stone materials (chert, jasper, rhyolite, quartzite, and hornstone) and knapping styles, reflecting both hunting utility and cultural craftsmanship.

This curated display showcases the evolution of point forms used across the Iroquoian and Algonquian regions — including triangular, stemmed, and notched types, dating from the Late Archaic through Late Woodland period (approx. 1500 BC – AD 1600).
