Since I spent my childhood in the area near Spiro Mounds in Oklahoma, the artifacts that are uncovered there fascinate me. But even more than the double pointed arrows made by Native Americans, I liked the point on the bottom right. The shape reminded me of a missile. The person who crafted it must have taken extra time to get the shape as he wanted.
In my mother's childhood, she said her brothers constantly found arrowheads along a riverbank. In my earlier years, I only found one arrow, a broken one, and I believe I had one authentic one given to me.
Now, when you go to the tourists sites, you can buy arrow tips for $1. I don't know if they are machine made but my guess is that they're created with modern materials.
Now, if I ever find my arrow lying around, I won't know if it's authentic or was one of the ones I bought for $1.
The photos above are from Woolaroc, a museum near Bartlesville, in the Northeastern area of Oklahoma.
