    These two bone arrow points were found several years

ago on the Cahokia Mounds site. They are laying on top

of several examples of stone Cahokia points that were

excavated many years ago from Mound 72. The bone

points in this picture represent two main styles of

Cahokia bone points from this area. The point on the

left is shaped to look like a sharks tooth. It has straight

edges that are serrated and a very deep concave base.

The bone point on the right is carved to look like a

double-notched serrated Cahokia point. Most notched and
serrated stone Cahokia points were triple notched rather

than double-notched.
