Peotone: The Collections
The Vern and Paul Geiss Collection
Of special note are the two center points - both exhibit typical forms of basal-fracturing found in the Kirk Snapped base typology.  The hafting thus created assures a better, more long-lasting and stable mounting for the point.  Approximately coeval in time with Decatur points (among others also
exhibiting basal fracturing), it must be assumed that such hafting
technology was known to other cultural groups, and the advantages of such application recognized and widely, if not comprehensively, used.
