Description

Early Archaic, about 10,000 yrs. BP. Nice shaping, edging and tail work.
This is a medium to large (typically 2.25 to 2.75 inches) triangular side notch point. The cross section is most commonly elliptical, but may also be flattened, rhomboid, or have a medial ridge. The blade can range from excurvate to straight and may be beveled or serrated. The shoulders are straight, and the stem is expanded. Bases are most commonly straight but may range from slightly convex to slightly concave. This point is made using primary percussion flaking with finishing pressure flaking along the edges. The most common flaking pattern is random, but some rare examples have had oblique transverse flaking.
