Okay.  Some of these are not weapons.  They were used for hunting, or for cutting leather -- things like that.  What do these stone blades tell us?  When did the bow & arrow get to the Southeast? Before the bow, how did people hunt game? Tell us about some other ways Southeastern Indians hunted -- ever heard of a blowgun.  Pick this topic and you have to demonstrate the effectiveness of a blowgun -- in class!  What about tools for agriculture?  There's a lot to explore here, but tell us about why stone blades  are important to archaeologists (like for dating sites...) But back to weapons -- what kind of weapons did Southeastern Indians use?  

Just remember: they are not all arrowheads!  Tell us about this important part of Southeastern culture...
