These arrow points were recovered from the Seuser site in Rush County by Kansas Historical Society archeologists and volunteers in 1970. All are made of Smoky Hill silicified chalk, a good quality knapping material that is exposed in linear beds in northwestern Kansas and western Nebraska. The Seuser site had multiple occupation during the Middle Ceramic period, including artifacts from both Pratt complex and Smoky Hill aspect peoples.
