Loyd Doty reports:
ATHAPAP LANCEOLATE – was named by archaeologist Walter M. Hlady for examples recovered from the type site near Flin Flon and Lake Athapapuskow in Manitoba, Canada (1st map below) and within the Great Plains Cultural Region (2nd map below). They are one of the Athapap culture point types in use during the Woodland to Late Archaic period. They are medium to large sized (3 to 5”) leaf shaped, bi-pointed or round or straight based projectiles or knives with convex blades. Reference: Hlady, Walter M. 1970, Indians of North America.
