Faulkner Side Notch
Cluster: Large Side Notch Cluster Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern:
This is a medium triangular side notched point with an elliptical cross section. The blade may vary from excurvate to straight. Parallel U shaped notches are lower on the blade. The stem is expanding and usually square. Most commonly, the notches have been cut into the blade leaving the basal ears having the same curvature as the blade. The base is primarily straight, but may be slightly concave. This point has a random flaking pattern.
