These tiny chipped stone arrow points were fastened to the tips of cane or wood shafts to make arrows. Small as they were, they could kill deer and buffalo!

Most stone knives were used for butchering deer and other animals. However, these special knives were made by master craftsmen to place in a grave as burial offerings for a departed leader.

These grooved and polished stones are called "boatstones" because of their shape. They are similar to weights used on atlatls, an old-style hunting weapon that gradually was replaced by the bow and arrow. But these fancy boatstones were just for show.

Knives and other tools and weapons made of iron were traded to the Caddo by the French and Spanish in the early 1800s. Metal gradually replaced the chipped stone used for weapons and tools of earlier times.

These odd stones are not prehistoric bagels, but "nutting stones." Hickory nuts were placed in the dimpled center and then cracked with another rock or a stick.

This replica of a Caddo axe shows how the stone tool was placed into a socket on a wooden handle.
