Barber Lanceolate
Cluster: Plano Lanceolate Cluster Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern:
This is a medium lanceolate point with an elliptical cross section. The blade is excurvate, expanding out from the time and in towards the base. This may create a basal ear that has an inward curve. The widest portion of the blade is around the midpoint of the blade. The base is deeply concaved and has heavy basal grinding. This point has a parallel oblique flaking pattern.
