    These serrated Madison points represent the second most common point type found in the three caches of points in Mound 72. Fowler reports six different variations of the type for a total of 326 points. Over a hundred of them were made of Kaolin chert. Other examples in the cache are made of Burlington and Mill Creek cherts. Serrated Madison points are found on habitation sites but they are rare. So the largest collection of these points come from Mound 72. The longest point is the red serrated Madison point at top row center. It measures 2 13/16 inches (7.1 cm) long.
