Madonna Side Notch
Provisional TypeCluster: Desert Side Notch Cluster
Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern:
This is a thin small isosceles triangular side notch point with a flattened cross section. The blade may vary from straight to slightly incurvate. Narrow parallel notches enter the blade on the bottom one third to one half of the preform, forming horizontal shoulders and commonly a narrow neck. The stem is expanded with a straight to deeply convex base. The basal area is usually large in regard to the point. This point has a random flaking pattern.

Additional Comments:
Justice (2002) views this as the same overall form as the Panoche type point. The primary difference between these two types is that the Madonna Side Notch generally has a narrower notched which are placed higher on the preform forming a larger base than commonly seen on the Panoche type point.
