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 group features three hand-knapped projectile points crafted from dark Pennsylvania chert. Each point shows distinct form and workmanship, reflecting the functional toolmaking traditions of Native American cultures in the Mid-Atlantic region.

The points vary in shape, including broad triangular and more elongated blade forms. Visible percussion flaking, natural patina, and edge wear are consistent with authentic field-found artifacts. These tools were likely used as spear points, knives, or general utility implements for hunting and daily tasks.

Pennsylvania chert was widely used due to its availability and flaking properties, making it a staple material for prehistoric tool production in the region.
