Flint Arrowheads
Ohio History
Flint Cores and Arrowhead
Here are some fine examples of the flint once it's been removed from the rock. These are the cores left over from large pieces of flint that have been chipped off to make tools. The arrowhead in the insert has been napped down to a razor-sharp blade on each side and tied to the stick with deer sinew (yuck!!). What is your favorite color of flint? I like the beautiful pinks, as well as the unusual deep blue you sometimes find.

I wonder how long it took to sharpen the arrowheads, and then whether they tried to retrieve the arrows if the target was missed.

These are beautiful pieces. I like all the pastel colors.
I like the pink and white striped rock, the yellow one to the right of it, and the blue one underneath it. They are so pretty!
I like the yellow and white one best.
