Edwards Corner Notch
Cluster: Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern:
This is a thin small to medium triangular corner notched point with a flattened cross section. The blade is primarily straight, but may vary to recurvate, flaring at the shoulders edge. Many examples have finely serration on the blade. Notches enter from the corner of the blade forming a shoulder that is barbed and an expanding stem. The base is deeply concave which forms long rounded drooping ears. This point has a random flaking pattern.

Additional Comments:
These points are the largest and the earliest of the arrow points found in Texas and are thought to represent the first form between the dart points and the arrow points (Turner and Hester, 1985). This point has been found in association with later dart points such as the Ensor, Fairland. Frio, Pedernales, and Uvalde (Perino, 1968)
