Barbee Corner Notch
Cluster: Kirk Corner Notch Cluster Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern:
This is a small to medium triangular corner notch point with an elliptical cross section. The blade varies from excurvate to straight on re-sharpened examples with fine serrations commonly present. The shoulders are strongly barbed and commonly extend to almost the base. Re-sharpened examples may have reduced barbs. The stem is expanding with a base that is most commonly straight, but may vary from slightly convex to slightly concave. Heavy basal grinding and thinning are commonly seen giving the hafting region a smooth appearance. This point has a random flaking pattern.

Additional Comments:
This is thought to be a variant of the Kirk Corner Notch (Emerson et al, 2012). This point is similar to the later Kings point, but exhibits heavy basal grinding while the Kings has light basal grinding.
