Kampsville Barbed
Cluster: Terminal Archaic Barbed Cluster Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern:
This is a medium triangular stemmed point with an elliptical cross section. The blade is excurvate with many examples curving back in towards the base at the shoulders. The blade may become straight with re-sharpening. The shoulders are barbed often extending half to the full length of the stem. The shoulder are reduced in re-sharpened examples. The stem may vary from straight to slightly expanding with a straight to slightly convex base. Basal corners range from sharp to rounded. This point is manufactured using random percussion flaking with pressure flaking used to retouch the blade forming a random flaking pattern.
