Indian Arrowheads & Artifacts
- Collectors classify arrowheads by time period, location and appearance. Abasolo arrowheads come from the Early to Middle Archaic period, between 7000-5000 BC, and appear in south Texas. Abasolo blades are beveled on one side of each face and have thin, rounded bases. Agee arrowheads, come from the Mississippian period, 1200-700 BC, and appear in midwestern states. Agee blades can be small or medium and have a corner-notched arrow point with a convex base.
- Other Native American weapons include tomahawks, knives, spears and axes. Lasting artifacts consist of a variety of stone materials, including camelian, jasper, luna agate and tallahata quartize.
- Many tribes known for their pottery lived in the southwest United States. The Hopi in northeastern Arizona used eagle designs and a clay with a yellow color. The Acoma in New Mexico made pottery of slate-like clay. Their pots had thin walls and geometric designs.
- Remaining jewelry artifacts are normally in the form of beads and pendants. These items consist of bone, antler, ceramic, shell, stone and metal materials.
