- Lot Description
Native American, Southern United States, Mississippian, ca. 700 to 1200 CE. A fine collection of 50 hand-knapped stone arrowheads, skillfully formed from stone. This ensemble displays a nice array of different shapes and types; all with pointed blades, but some with different necks, fins, or peripheral widths. The process for shaping these points involved hitting a harder stone against the surface to flake or knap these arrowheads into the desired form. The petite size of each head is impressive; hand-knapping these must have been painstaking work, and a single mistake could have ruined the entire arrowhead! The chert, quartz, and obsidian used for these heads were prized for their lovely opaque and translucent qualities. These pretty pieces may have had ritualistic and ceremonial use, rather than utilitarian, and caches of similar arrowheads have been found buried in mounds. Size of largest arrowhead: 1.5" L x .675" W (3.8 cm x 1.7 cm); smallest: .43" L x .375" W (1.1 cm x 1 cm); size of case: 12.25" L x 8.25" W x 1" H (31.1 cm x 21 cm x 2.5 cm)
Provenance: private Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA collection; ex-Dr. David Harner collection, Springdale, Arkansas, USA, acquired between the 1950s and 1960s
