These metal arrow points were recovered from an archeological site in Morris County and donated to the Kansas Historical Society in 2020. Some metal points were made by American Indians from scraps of metal, such as barrel bands while others were manufactured and traded to them by Europeans and Americans. The site had multiple occupations from the Archaic period to the late 1800s and may have been one of three large Kansa sites along the Neosho River occupied during the mid-19th century.
