Arrowheads

  Arrowheads are the most easily identified of archaeological artifacts. Most people in the world recognize an arrowhead when they see one: a stone object which has been deliberately chipped to be pointy on one end. Whether they've personally collected them from nearby farmlands, seen them in museum displays or just watched them being shot into people in John Wayne movies, most people know the triangular tips of arrow shafts called arrowheads are the remnants of a prehistoric hunting trip, the spent shotgun shells of the past.
