- Archaeologists are crediting a small child with finding a prehistoric arrow point at Denali National Park and Preserve.

The barbed arrow point was found last month by a 4-year-old boy who was playing on a gravel bar along the Teklanika River.

Archaeologists believe the 12-inch point was made of caribou antler.

Park archaeologist Jeremy Karchut says the point is significantly worn, but still has characteristics that indicate it was man-made and what it was used for.

He says the point was found near a prehistoric hunting site dating back thousands of years.

The artifact - only the second barbed point found at Denali - is archived in the park museum.
