Native American, Oklahoma, McCurtain County, Transitional Paleo to Mississippian, ca. 8000 BCE to 1500 CE (10000 to 500 BP). An attractive gathering of 42 hand-knapped chert, stone, and petrified wood arrowheads boasting hues of sienna, tawny, auburn, caramel, butterscotch, puce, taupe, grey, cream, white, and black. Presenting in triangular, triangular stemmed, lanceolate, auriculate, and triangular basal notch forms, these lovely points exhibit various types, such as Gary, Kent, Carrolton, Baker, Dawson, Shetley, Aux Arc, Arkabutla, Maybon, Dunn, Calf Creek, and Levi.
