This dart point was recovered from the surface of an Archaic site in Chase County. The site was surveyed by Kansas Historical Society archeologists. This dart point has an expanding stemmed base. Dart points would be 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).
