Grand Corner Notch
Cluster: Snyders Cluster Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern:
This is a medium triangular corner notch point with an elliptical cross section. The blade is excurvate and generally short and broad. The shoulders are barbed with an expanding stem. The base is convex with many examples having a “dovetail” appearance. The base has thinning accomplished with several longitudinal flakes commonly extending the length of the stem with light hafting region grinding being present. This point is made using broad percussion flaking with fine pressure flaking used to re-touch the edges forming a random flaking pattern.

Total Length - 45 to 84 mm (average 55 to 65 mm), Stem Length - 11 to 16 mm, Blade Width - 25 to 45 mm (average 33 to 38 mm), Neck Width - 15 to 25 mm, Stem Width - 23 to 33 mm

Additional Comments:
Justice (1987), feels that this point morphologically correlates with the Snyders Cluster and is part of that cluster. This point also correlates with the other Snyders Cluster points in the time frame in which it was used. This point in this cluster for these reasons. This point is not part of the Hopewell culture which is associated with most points in this cluster. (W11).
