ARROW POINTS
SUB-SAHARA REGION OF AFRICA
TOM RICHARDSON COLLECTION
RETURN TO PAGE 2

    The arrow points in this picture illustrate some of the

many different styles of projectile points from the

Sub-Saharan region in Africa. Many have basal stems for

hafting. Others are willow-leaf shaped, with or without

edge serrations. Some are triangular in outline with
concave bases. Many of these Sub-Saharan arrow heads

are made from dull brown or gray chert but some are

made of very colorful red and yellow cherts. The longest

examples in this picture measure under 1 3/4 inches (4.5 cm).
