BONE POINT This double notched bone arrow point was found during the excavation of the North Winds site in Monroe County, Illinois in 2004. It was found in feature #24 in a trash pit. The North Winds site is an Emergent
Mississippian site belonging to the Dohack
Phase. It does not have any edge serrations that are so often seen on other bone points from the Cahokia Mounds area. The notches on this point are also very different from other notched points that are illustrated in this article. These notches were done with single cuts at a very steep angle. The other examples have much wider and deeper notches that were cut perpendicular to the edges.
