OK, I looked this up.   ;D ;D

In the areas you mentioned, the Mississippian point type would be the Madison type.  In the Middle to Late Woodland periods  (just before the Mississippian)  the Baker's Creek Points was common.  The Copena Triangular is also present and is considered to be the preform for the Baker's Creek.  Baker's Creek is also referred to as "Taylor" ? in some contexts, I think.

Cahokia, Ft. Ancient, Nodena, Jack's Reef, Hamilton, and Levanna are close neighbors but would not be a good choice, in my opinion.  They are on the outskirts of your area  (too far West and North).

These images are very helpful.   I am getting a better feel for the Mississippian era's arrowheads and their variety. 

Thanks for posting.
