These dart points were found at the Trowbridge archeological site in Wyandotte County, and donated to the Kansas Historical Society in 1973. These broad dart points were knapped from non-local chert, mounted to the dart foreshaft, which would in turn be connected to the dart shaft. The assembled dart would then be thrown with an atlatl (spearthrower). Trowbridge is a Kansas City Hopewell site from the Early Ceramic Period. During this time archeologists find evidence of houses, cultivated plants, and decorated pottery.
