Indian Projectile Points

Indian Projectile Points These triangular points are of the type that would have tipped the arrows of Indians when the colonists arrived at Jamestown. Scores of these projectile points have been found within colonial contexts in the fort. Because many of these points are unbroken and are made of non-local stones, they may not represent arrows that were fired upon the colonists during times of Anglo-Indian unrest. Instead, they could have been on special gift arrows that were presented to the colonists.
