Maud Triangle
Cluster: Late Southern Triangle Cluster Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern:
This is a small thin slender triangular point with a flattened cross section. The blade is primarily straight and forms an isosceles triangle (half as wide as the height). The blade may be finely serrated. The base may range from slightly concaved to deeply concave or V shaped, and may have basal thinning. This point has a random flaking pattern.
Size Measurements:
Total Length - 19 to 55 mm, Width - 7 to 14 mm, Basal Concavity - 3 to 7 mm (Suhm and Krieger, 1954)
