These two arrow points were recovered from 14CS355, a multicomponent (multiple occupations) Native American site in Chase County. Two radiocarbon dates are associated with the site: a hearth that was dated to 500 - 1055 CE and some charcoal dated to 1695 - 1745 CE. The arrow points get their pinkish color as a result of the material being carefully heated before manufacturing to improve the chert's knapping qualities.
Date: 1695-1745 CE
