Arrowhead Art at Fort Rock: Monochrome Monday

This interesting collection of framed arrowhead art is on display at the Fort Rock Homestead Village Museum. The obsidian used to make much of this art exists throughout parts of Central Oregon. It is abundant at Glass Buttes . Big Obsidian Flow, (shown here) at Newberry National Volcanic Monument, contains 380 million cubic yards of obsidian. Native peoples had a lot of material to work with close by.

  • :) I love arrowheads. I collect and find fossils, but i never found any arrowheads. I did purchase a few authenticated arrowheads, however.

    • Yeah, I like fossils, cool rocks, and arrowheads too. I found an arrowhead at a modern-day flint knapping camp. My mom has several arrowheads she found decades ago.
