arrowhead
Piercing end of projectile
An arrowhead is the pointed tip of an arrow, traditionally made of stone, bone, or metal, designed to pierce a target.
Archaeological arrowheads, particularly those chipped from flint or obsidian by indigenous peoples, are prized finds for collectors and historians.
The term also names a common aquatic plant with arrow-shaped leaves that grows in marshes and shallow water.
We found a Native American arrowhead while hiking along the creek.
