ACOTW TM Arrowhead Collecting On The Web 14,000 Years in the Ozarks -- A Regional Prehistoric Arrowhead Type Collection & Cultural Timeline By www.RelicShack.com Steve Lee Tells Us The Background Of www.RelicShack.com RelicShack.com is a family business located in Lake Ozark, Missouri, owned by my brother Kevin and I. Both of us have spent much of our lives learning and honoring our Native American Indian heritage. About 40 years ago, I found my first arrowhead. I was so fascinated by this rock that I carried it in my pocket for months. From that day on, every time I walked through fields or creeks, my eyes were always aimed at the ground. As my collection grew larger, I noticed that many of the arrowheads looked similar. After getting an arrowhead book for my birthday, I realized there were many other types of points that I didn’t have. At the age of 18, I had (...continues on p. 5) 14,000 Years in the Ozarks Take a look at our local prehistoric arrowhead type collection & timeline.

I went to my first artifacts show and bought what I thought was the best pieces of history in the world. Until a month later, when I found out I had spent my hard earned money on a bunch of fakes, what a let down. We totally believe we need good informative Archaeological Societies to help guide the collectors so they do not have to suffer like myself and many other friends. These organizations also allow people from outside the artifact community know who the good guys really are. That is why we are members with many and support these groups. We have done our best not to allow any questionable relics on our site and promise to continue to do so in the future with the utmost scrutiny. Sincerely, Steve Lee Prehistoric Cultures Have you ever imagined what life was like in the old days? Many of you will think back to the days of our grandparents or great grandparents but that’s not what we are talking about. When we say old days, we mean “prehistoric times”. Prehistory is a term used to describe the period before recorded time and differs on geographic location. In the Americas, prehistoric refers to any time before the invasion of Christopher Columbus (1492). Although there is no European documentation for our prehistory, we do have Native American Indian artifacts that tell stories of our past. This past stretches back as far as 14,000 years. The Timeline Goal The goal was to create a timeline with a full range of prehistoric arrowhead types in chronological order. Creating a type collection can be a challenge. (Some museums can’t seem to do it - see below) But this isn’t just a type collection, it is a local type collection where every single arrowhead was locally found.
