Description

The Santa Fe is a medium-sized point measuring 1.5 to 3 inches in length. The point is a long, slender lanceolate shaped form developed through random to controlled collateral percussion flaking. Workmanship is excellent to good. The pressure flaked blade edges are slightly convex and meet at an acuminate distal end. Many examples have shown smoothing at the distal end from wear. The basal corners are straight to expanding, pointed to slightly rounded and are often slightly smoothed. The basal edge is concave and may also be slightly smoothed. The smoothing here would not be as extensive as the Chattahoochee Dalton form.
