From Swift Current Museum

Accession Number 2007.16.1b

Date 1000 bp

Description Grey projectile point. The point is side notched with a slightly concave base, and straight edges to the tip. Based on its shape and size, this point is likely an arrowhead. The bow and arrow became popular in the Late Period, which took place around 2,000 to 300 years before present (BP). This particular arrowhead most closely resembles Avonlea points from 1,350 to 1,100 years before present, or Prairie Side-Notched points from 1,200 to 550 years before present.
