ABOVE: CAHOKIA11: Shark-tooth-imitating form of Cahokia point; form is described by the source, Lithic Casting Lab, as, in effect, a Madison point (also Mississippian Culture) with extreme basal indentation and uncharacteristic serrated blade. It is further noted that the majority of points found at Cahokia Mounds are Madisons – but neither serrated nor basally indented like this EXCEPT in cache discoveries. Whether this should be described then as a form of Madison or a distinct type made for some ceremonial cache purpose is unknown at this point. Location: Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site, Illinois
