These dart point bases were recovered from an archeological site in Johnson County and donated to the Kansas Historical Society in 2020. 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). The dart point on the right was carefully heated before manufacturing to improve the chert's knapping qualities.
