These are the kinds of arrowheads I find. 90% obsidian

I wonder if there was a technical reason, or they just liked the look?

Well the edge if a obsidian flake is sharper than a razor. They use obsidian blades it for brain surgery because it will cut a cell cleanly not rip like steel blade. I bet those arrowhead were death on anything they hit!

Those points cause a lot more bleeding than the other points.

It's interesting that a large percentage appear to been intentionally made asymmetrical.

As the muscles of an animal or person, hit by one of those point moves, the points move more, causing more damage.
