Angelico Corner Notch
Cluster: Kirk Corner Notch Cluster Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern:
This is a thin medium triangular corner notch point with a thin elliptical to flattened cross section. The blade is primarily straight, but may vary to slightly excurvate to slightly incurvate on re-sharpened examples. Beveling and serrations are commonly seen on the blade and may be more prevalent on re-sharpened examples. The shoulder may range from slightly barbed to having a slight upward angle. The stem is expanding with a slightly concave base. This point is commonly well made and has a random flaking pattern.
Size Measurements:
Total Length - 35 to 60 mm, Stem Length - 4 to 8 mm, Blade Width - 25 to 38 mm, Stem Width at Base - 17 to 30 mm (***based on small sample size***)

Additional Comments:
These points are similar, if not the same, as the Decatur points found in the Ohio River Valley and into the Tennessee River Valley. Hranicky (2011) hypothesize that this type was developed in southern Virginia and migrated to the Ohio River Valley where it evolved into The Decatur type.
