These seven arrow points were recovered from a Smoky Hill aspect site occupied during the Middle Ceramic period in Saline County. The arrow points 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 a result of the material being carefully heated before manufacturing to improve the chert's knapping qualities.
