That's different. I wonder if it was broke originally and then just chipped across in a straight line?

that is a really good question. These points were placed in the burial mound so were they gifts or what? So many were prefect so I wonder if it was not a style but I don't know.

thats a cahokia style that I hadnt seen before.  when I hear cahokia I just think of the notched triangle but theres obviously more to it.  thanks for showing that.

I think I read yesterday there are around 35 different point styles found in that one mound.
