Loyd Doty notes:

JORDAN (Corner Notch) – was named by self taught archaeologist Greg Perino for examples recovered from dry shelters sites near Jordan township in Whiteside County, Illinois.  They are medium sized (2” to 3”) projectiles with parallel blades, minute corner notches and short, expanded stems with straight bases.  Distribution appears to be limited to the immediate area of discovery and they remain undated but were believed to be in use during the middle Archaic period.  Reference: Perino, Gregory 1985, Selected Preforms, Points and Knives of the North American Indians Vol. 1, Points & Barbs Press Idabel, Oklahoma.
