Second Fort Crawford – Projectile Point

Projectile point During the 1999 investigations related to Second Fort Crawford in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin a single projectile point made of heat treated Prairie du Chien chert was recovered. The point is beveled at the tip and is probably an example of Scottsbluff, dating to the Late Paleoindian or Early Archaic time period.
