Nice collection of points, do the triangles in Ohio span a large amount of time? Around here they are pretty much all Mississippian

Most if not all, were late Woodland to Mississippian. There is also a Ft. Ancient culture in Ohio & nearby states that made triangles.

I think Levannas (equilateral) were earliest from about 700 AD to 1300 then Madisons and and other narrow based triangles followed. I'm sure they overlapped as well.
The earliest arrow points in IL were late woodland Schild spikes. A small core struck blade with minimal retouch. The Koster point was another early one. Then it seems they did a lot of experimenting before they finally settled on the triangle shape. At Dixon Mounds in IL the early woodland burials were the earliest Native Americans that had arrow points embedded in bones. The bow and arrow ushered in violent times for the natives.

I doubt the weapons created the violence, they just made it more efficient and less personal. That seems to be the trend in weaponry across all time.
