Neolithic Arrowhead

A Neolithic age arrowhead from the Sahara Desert.

These arrowheads from the Sahara Desert come from a time when human societies were transitioning from a nomadic existence to more settled lifestyles, around 5,000 to 7,000 years ago. During this period, people in the Sahara were adapting to changing climates, as the region was experiencing the tail end of the "Green Sahara" or "African Humid Period," when the desert was much wetter and supported lakes, rivers, and vegetation. This environmental context allowed for semi-permanent or even permanent settlements where communities engaged in pastoralism alongside early forms of agriculture, cultivating crops like sorghum and millet, and domesticating animals such as cattle, goats, and sheep.

This arrowhead comes stored in a display box, as pictured (arrowhead can be removed from the box).
