These seven arrow points were recovered from a Smoky Hill aspect site occupied during the Middle Ceramic period in Saline County. They were recovered of the surface of the site and donated to the Kansas Historical Society in 2017. All of the arrow point are side notched. Those in the middle row have an additional notch in their base and single one in the third row has multiple side notches. One arrow point has a pinkish color as the result of being heat-treated to improve its knapping qualities.
