Anderson Side Notch
AKA: P3 (Workman, 1978)Cluster:
Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern:
This is a large triangular to lanceolate side notch point with a random flaking pattern. The blade is primarily excurvate. Wide broad notches enter the side of the preform forming a shoulder that ranges from horizontal to having a slight upward angle with and expanding stem. The base is almost as wide, or slightly narrower, than the blade with a convex base. This point has a random flaking pattern.

Additional Comments:
Hare et al. (2011) note that these points do not appear to have a southern component as suggested by MacNeish. The points described by MacNeish (1967), were smaller corner notch points. Workman (1978) continued using this name for these larger side notch points.
