These six arrow points were recovered from an archeological site in Johnson County and donated to the Kansas Historical Society in 2007 and 2020. Four arrow points are corner-notched and two are triangular. Archeologists consider corner-notched points such as these to be the earliest form of arrow points that are found in the Great Plains, being made and used approximately 1-1100 CE and triangular arrow points to be the latest form, occurring approximately 1100-1650 CE.
