Chesrow Auriculate
AKA: PriceQuad Variant
Cluster: Dalton Cluster
Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern:
This is a thick medium (1.5 to 3 inches) auriculate lanceolate point with an elliptical cross section. The blade is excurvate with the tip curving in and the side becoming parallel. Constricting towards the waist and flaring back out towards the base. This gives this point an auricular appearance. The blade may vary from long and narrow to short with a broad tip on heavily re-sharpened examples. The base is concave forming auricular or ears. The base is commonly thinned and hafting region grinding is generally present. This type is commonly crudely made and has a random flaking pattern.
