When making arrowheads and tools, Native Americans chose stones that could be easily flaked and sharpened. Many different types of stones were used to make arrowheads, but it’s difficult to say which type of rock were most common. The largest factor in determining what kind of rock was most used is knowing what part of the country the arrowheads are from.
Al Hartje, renowned expert and collector of Native American artifacts, will give a presentation at our May 19 meeting about how and what stones were used to form weapons and tools.
Come and learn how these early settlers were able to carve tools from stones that were found on Staten Island and other parts of the country.
Al will have a variety of artifacts from his private collections for you to view and hold.
