ANDERSON (Corner Notch) (A) – is a projectile point style defined by archaeologist Richard Stockton MacNeish on the basis of his investigations in southeastern Manitoba, Canada (1st map below) within the Great Plains Cultural Region (2nd map below) and attributed to the Anderson, Nutimik and Larter foci. As originally defined, these points are relatively long (2 ½ to 3 ½”) and narrow with less than sharp tips, expanded blade edges and corner notches that form expanded stems with straight bases. Distribution includes south central Canada and the north central U.S. states that border with Canada and they were in use during the Middle Woodland period.
