A Collection of 7–8 Arrowheads
The core of the experience is a set of seven to eight arrowheads offered together — a concise sampling that lets travelers compare shapes, flake patterns and finishing across multiple examples.
Jasper, Agate and Chert
The arrowheads in this collection are fashioned from jasper, agate and chert—three silica-based stones prized historically for predictable fracture and sharp edges—so the material palette itself becomes a lesson in prehistoric toolmaking.
