Sahara Neolithic Arrowheads
This is a group of 9, nice quality Sahara
Neolithic Arrowheads and tools mostly from the region of northern Mauritania
(south-western Sahara desert).
The largest tool is a 2 1/4th inch (54mm) ovate blade, seen in the middle,
nice glossy material.
The smallest by a hair , is a nice little auriculate-style jasper triangle,
it is is 15/16th inch (24 mm).
Each point in this group is special is some way: glossy high-grade or rarer
lithic type, color, serrations, classic or unusual style, and/or exceptional
workmanship.
The condition is very good, there are a couple of tiny ancient dings to be
found, but overall a very nice sampling of harder to find Sahara Neolithic
relics.
These much better than average Neolithic projectile points. This is the type
of relic you can still pick up if you have lots of luck and the opportunity
to visit Neolithic sites deep in the Sahara. They were lost or discarded by
our New Stone Age hunter gatherer ancestors 4,000 - 6,000 years ago.
