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.

This listing features two hand-knapped projectile points from Ohio, crafted from dark, high-quality chert. Both points display strong percussion flaking, sharp blade edges, and well-defined profiles, indicating skilled prehistoric workmanship.

The left point has a broad, triangular form with a thick midsection and visible flake scars across both faces. The right point is more elongated and lanceolate, with a narrower blade and tapered tip. Natural patina, mineral inclusions, and edge wear are consistent with authentic field-found artifacts.

These points were likely used as spear or knife forms, reflecting the practical hunting and toolmaking traditions of Native American cultures in the Ohio Valley, a region known for its high-quality lithic materials and advanced flintknapping traditions.
