This collection of arrowheads spent several decades nestled in a drawer in my parents’ spare bedroom. I have very little information on them except that they belonged to my grandmother’s second husband who had visited the Southwest.<\/p>\n
I’ve poked around online here and there, without much success. The most information I’ve gotten was from a friend that grew up in the Southwest, who admitted he didn’t know much about arrowheads – said the two on the right and second one from the left in the top row looked like Mescalero Apache. Without any information as to where these came from – \u00a0he also thought the two reddish ones may be Alibates Flint, which may be from North Texas, above Amarillo. He did confirm what I had read about the black arrowhead – that it was Obsidian volcanic glass.<\/p>\n
Other observations my non-expert expert made – there are at least three ‘generations’ of arrowheads in my collection. Also, the way they’re mounted – wired on a felt back is typical of the way it was done in the 40s and 50s. Eventually, I will settle down and do more research – but for now, I thought I’d throw them up here for you to see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
