DeStaffany Stemmed
AKA: Type IIIb (Carlson, 2011) Provisional Type
Cluster:
Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern:
This is a medium to large lanceolate contracting stem point with an elliptical cross section. The blade is narrow and excurvate with the tip curving in and becoming parallel towards the shoulders. The shoulders range from almost horizontal to having a slight upward angle. The stem is rages from contracting to slightly contracting with a convex base. This point has a high quality of workmanship and a random flaking pattern.
Size Measurements:
Length - 53 to 97 mm (average 63 to 75 mm), Blade Width - 16 to 30 mm (average 20 to 23 mm),**Width / Length Ratio 0.22 to 0.35 mm **

Additional Comments:
*** To get the width/length ratio, divide the width by the length. This ration must not be larger than .35 otherwise the point would be considered a Pender Canal type (Carlson, 2011)
