PROJECTILE POINTS All of these arrow points were made from pre-shaped cores. They are strikingly similar miniature versions of the large macro blade Mayan daggers. All of these points were collected on sites in one of the countries in the Sub-Saharan region of Africa. They were expertly made on flakes that were struck from cores. The cores were pre-shaped so a pointed triangular flake was produced that did not require any further edge modification. The largest example measures 2 1/2 inches (6.3 cm) long.
