The shoulders are narrow and range from horizontal to upward angled. The stem is broader than the Benton point. The base is generally straight, but may range from slightly convex to slightly concave. The stem and basal edges are steeply beveled. This point has a random flaking pattern.
These points are most commonly found in the Tennessee River Valley and into the mid and lower Ohio River valley.
