Arrow heads from Peru

[Narrow Way Knapper]

Here are some palm wood points that I brought back from Peru. The natives still make and use them. I can't remember the name of the people group who made them, but most of the native groups make similar pieces.

wicked looking arrowheads

Yeah, I don't think it would be very easy to pull it back out.

[Hal Gorges]

So these fit into the main shaft to make a composite arrow,?...beautiful, Florida’s East coast natives used cane arrows...on occasion.

[Narrow Way Knapper]

Yes, they did. It's a very common design with subtle differences between tribes.

Narrow way would you please up load the pictures again. I dont know how I did it but I must have removed them by accident.

[Narrow Way Knapper]

There, I think it's fixed. Please let me know if there is any more problems.

Hey Knapper.....is it the Ashaninka tribe.....does that ring a bell.....i am reading a book right now about some folks that are kayaking the entire length of the amazon river and speak to this tribe in peru......those are wicked looking points.....thanks for sharing

[Narrow Way Knapper]

Two of my best friends were Ashanika brothers. I have a few photos that I should scan. Most of our pictures were ruined by the jungle mold. I think my mom gave me these two arrowheads I doubt she remembers which tribe they came from.

By the way, what's the name of the book?

[Benji]

Hey Knapper.....its called Amazon Woman by Darcy Gaechter.....im about halfway into it and been pretty good thus far.......3 kayakers begin the journey somewhere in the highlands of peru where they believe found source of the Amazon.... then details the journey from beginning to end and the troubles encountered during the journey....so far been a pretty good book.
