Pictured are two Plainview projectile points Aug. 7, 2017, recovered from one of many archaeology digs at Fort McCoy, Wis., in recent years. These points are from the Late Paleoindian cultural period, and are approximately 9,000-10,000 years old. While Plainview points can be found as far away as Texas, these two are made from a stone called Prairie du Chien chert, which can be found in Monroe County, Wis. Both of these projectile points are much smaller than they would have originally been and have been very heavily “reworked” as a result of resharpening and repair over a long period of use.
