The Creators Of This Outstanding Type Collection & Timeline.
saved my money and was ready to
started purchasing arrowheads to
build my collection with better
specimens and all the other types I
couldn’t find (or haven’t found
yet). 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.

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.
Collection Highlights
· All arrowheads were found
within a 100 mile radius in
