These two arrow points were found near Fowler, in Meade County, and donated to the Kansas Historical Society in 1967. The smaller, corner-notched point, is of a type considered by Archeologists to be the earliest form of arrow points found on the Great Plains. The larger, side-notched point is an example of those used by Native Americans from about 800 years ago until they changed to metal arrow points in the 18th- and 19th-centuries. The notches aided in hafting the points to the arrow shaft.
