Description

It does not get any better than this! Transitional Paleo, 10,500 – 9000 yrs BP. FANTASTIC shape, thinness and very fine edgework.
This is a medium to large auriculate point. The cross section may range from elliptical to flattened. The blade is primarily an outward recurvate shape due to a constricted waist or hafting area, which forms auriculate or ears. The blade is commonly serrated, but lacks beveling. The degree of constricting may vary. The base is concave. Grinding is seen on the hafting area and basal grinding and flaking are common. Some basal flaking may give the appearance of fluting. The flaking pattern can vary from oblique transverse, horizontal transverse, collateral, or random.
