These arrow points were collected at an archeological site in Riley County and donated to the Kansas Historical Society in 1881. The two different styles shown, side-notched and triangular, are both made from local Flint Hills region cherts. The site was occupied by people of the Upper Republican phase of the Central Plains tradition during the Middle Ceramic period (1000 - 1500 CE).
