Stone Projectile Points

Going back to when  I was a small child arrowheads have always fascinated me. I was amazed by how old they were and the design of them. This past Tuesday my class visited the McClung Museum to learn about how people evolved overtime throughout Tennessee. My focus throughout the exhibit was the materials made of stone. I was immediately drawn to the case of the projectile points also known as arrowheads. The native people used the sharp tools for hunting and gathering starting int the Paleoindian. Their basic shape and purpose has carried through out history. Today hunters still use bow and arrows to hunt for game. As you can see in my pictures below that yes the material has changed but the triangular shape and sharp edge is still similar today.
