Cahokia arrowheads are razor-sharp chipped perfectly from pieces of chert and spear points with neat rows of teeth that pierced the flesh and did not let go.

"Indian artists made projectile points of deadly elegance -- razor-sharp arrowheads chipped perfectly from pieces of chert and spear points with neat rows of teeth that pierced the flesh and did not let go. We see a cache of arrowheads that archaeologists discovered in a Cahokia grave. Gorgeous but too delicate for use, they exemplify Indian art for art's sake."
