Cluster: Western Triangle Cluster
Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern:
This is a medium scalene triangular point with a thin elliptical cross section. The blade is excurvate with one edge being longer than the other edge. The long edge commonly has a slight indention just above the basal corner, but the indention is not always present. The base is at an angle and may range from straight to slightly convex or concave and may have a weak center basal notch. This point has a random flaking pattern.
