Investigating Serrated Points of Colorado

(2025) Coal Creek Research, Inc.

Corner notched points were chosen in this analysis because they are the most common shape of point in Colorado. They comprise approximately 30% of the nearly 13,000 (as of 2/15/2025) points contained in the Colorado Projectile Point Database.

Only points from surface collections were used. Neck width and maximum thickness have been used to separate arrows from darts (Hildebrandt and King, 2012). In this analysis only neck width was used since maximum thickness was not available for all the projectile points. The neck width was obtained by using tpsdig2.0 (Rohlf, 2010) on the images of each point.
