Indian Arrowheads and Their Origins

Indian Arrowheads are very interesting pieces of Native American culture, whether the one you seek is handmade by a member of a local Cherokee tribesman in modern times or was crafted for hunting and battle purposes hundreds of years ago. Either way, the precision and care that goes into making authentic and reproduction arrowheads is bar none to what you will find anywhere else. While arrowheads were originally constructed by Native Americans to be used in battle, they were also used as tools to hunt buffalo and other forms of wild prey for both food and ritualistic purposes.

When many people think of arrowheads, they think of Indian Arrowheads, but this precision killing tool was put into play long before tribesman migrated to game-rich North America and settled. In fact, the oldest arrowheads ever discovered were found in South Africa. These were very similar to the style used by Native Americans and date back to over 60,000 years ago. While many stone-age humans were still using spears to hunt their pray, Howiesons Poort tribesman had invented a new, faster, more efficient way of killing. They began using bow and arrow for hunting purposes thousands of years before it began to catch on in other parts of the world. Indeed, these pioneers were crafting, sharp, piercing arrowheads out of stone long before Native Americans.

While Howiesons Poort tribesman can now be accredited to pioneering the use of arrowheads, though their innovative use of bow and arrow did not last. Scientists have discovered no trace to arrowhead creation among evolved humans after finding the Howiesons Poort connection. It appears that this inventive projectile style of hunting falls completely off of the map for another 20,000 years before production of them springs back up through other cultures. It is for this reason that plainsmen and other tribes of humans who crossed the bering straight tens of thousands of years ago to settle in North America are the most widely known for the creation and use of arrowheads. These important Native American Indians now carry the tradition of ages long past.

To this day, Native Americans continue creating arrowheads. Now mostly for aesthetic purposes, they can easily be bought and sold by any collector who wishes to hold a piece of history.
