Some scientists theorize that the bow and arrow was first invented around the time of the Aterian tradition evidenced by the discovery of small tanged points from this same region in North Africa. The Aterian Tradition is also responsible for various scrapers with obvious knapped tangs also intended for hafting the tool onto handles of bone, ivory or wood.
Primitive man, in the Aterian Period, sometimes salvaged damaged points to be reworked into tanged scrapers. In other instances, the original concept of the tool was a scraper and no evidence of being a former projectile point can be found. Tools and weapons from this technology date from periods from roughly 80, years old to 40, years ago. The Aterian technology uses the levallois and disc core techniques and superseded the Mousterian Tradition in this region of North Africa.
One can look at the Aterian Tradition as being a "refined" Mousterian technology. I knapped a flake from a piece of burlington chert I found in a creek.
This rock is stained orange on the outside from being submerged for many years in water. Many camps are located where two watercourses meet. Look for high spots along the river. Springs are another good location for campsites. High cut-banks are good places to look for these newly eroded artifacts.
Only the tip and the edge of the blade were showing on this plowed field find from spring Beginner to Expert level arrowhead hunting guide. Later when Indians developed agriculture and a more sedentary lifestyle, their camps were occupied continuously for hundreds, sometimes thousands of years.
Arrowheads of all sizes and types were made, stored, misplaced, and hidden all around these camps. When an arrow missed its mark it could easily be lost in grass, brush, or snow. The shaft disintegrates over time, and the stone point remains, waiting for you to find it. How to Identify Indian Artifacts It can be difficult for a beginner to tell whether what he has found is in fact an Indian artifact.
When arrowheads are made, a series of long, thin flakes are removed one at a time from a rock. Each flake removed leaves a "flake scar. An Indian artifact will be covered over its entire surface with small "channels" flake scars left over from flake removals.
The domed shape nipple is the "bulb of force". Natural flakes will not have this bulb of force. Perfect arrowheads are rare and much care should be taken when bringing them back home and displaying them. You can snag the tips and barbs on your shirt and chip them. Carry a small cloth or a paper towel, and wrap the arrowhead.
Then place the wrapped point in a small box. It's a harsh lesson to learn if you break a personal find on the way back to the car. I do not recommend carrying your artifact around in your bare hand while you continue hunting or walking back to the car. Secure your finds immediately.
An hour later he sat down to eat lunch and broke the Clovis point in half. He had forgotten it was in his back pocket. He still hasn't gotten over it, and that happened 30 years ago. The most common way to display arrowheads are in glass front wooden frames.
The frames are about 2 inches deep, and have felt covered foam inside them. The foam allows the artifacts to be held securely between the glass and the felt covered foam. Choose a color of felt that contrasts with your arrowheads. The bow and arrow , a rather more familiar technological innovation to fans of John Wayne movies, also dates at least to the Upper Paleolithic, but it likely predates atlatls.
The earliest evidence is 65, years old. Archaeologists usually call these "arrow points," when they recognize them. All three types of hunting, the spear, the atlatl, and the bow and arrow, are used today by sportsmen around the world, practicing what our ancestors used on a daily basis.
