McKean complex projectile point typology has been of keen interest to Plains archaeologists since the early 1950s. This article examines the typological and functional relationships of McKean complex points from the Lightning Spring, McKean, Red Fox and Scoggin sites in the Pine Parklands area of the northwestern Plains. Techno-morphological study of these assemblages demonstrates that Duncan and Hanna are a single form, while the McKean Lanceolate and Mallory are separate types. The article proposes that the three McKean complex point types functioned within a multiple weapons system: Duncan-Hanna points were atlatl darts while McKean Lanceolates, and possibly Mallory points, were used on thrusting spears.
