The creation and use of tools are considered one of the fundamental core traits and defining characteristics of our species. It is an established fact that our early ancestors may have been utilizing tools as far back as 2.6 million years ago. More recently in North America, there is clear evidence of hunting instruments going back 13,000 years. Where did those tools go? The truth is they are found in many different places. According to the highly respected Rock Seeker website, relics such as arrowheads, points, and other man-made tools dating back millenniums are being discovered by creeks, rivers, and woodlands fairly consistently. Yet, many of those remarkable finds and the historical era they come from may not be easy to identify. Today, there is an app that describes and teaches you the origin of your discoveries. Introducing, the Arrowhead ID app. Terms of Use https://arrowheadid.com/terms-of-service/ Privacy Policy https://arrowheadid.com/privacy-policy/
