Turnback Tuesday is showing a couple of the Arrowheads from our collection.
Native American arrowheads are small objects attached to the end of a shaft or arrow to be used during hunting, warfare or ceremonial activities.
In Connecticut, Native Americans made arrowheads out of various stone.
These included quartz, chert, flint, and rhyolite. Quartz was a common material particularly on the Housatonic River. Chert and flint were imported to Connecticut. Different tribes had their own unique style or design.
These (2) images of arrowheads were found in Derby.
Thanks goes to Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
