    Madison points were named by Scully for examples found at the Cahokia site in MO/IL. Basically, the true "Madison" point is an unnotched, triangular, Cahokia-related Mississippian point. There are a TON of different Mississippian triangular arrow points found throughout the country that are called Madison - but they aren't [Information provided by Neanderthal]

    Location : Coincides with the Mississippian culture in the Eastern states. Type site-St. Clair Co., IL. Found at Cahokia mounds. Used by the Kaskaskia tribe into the 1700s.
    Shape : Arrow Points
    Description:
    A small to medium size, thin, triangular point with usually straight sides and base. Many are of high quality and some are finely serrated.

    I have read that the general shape and size of madisons continued until the historic period. Kind of the last of the stone points around here imo.
