Additional Comments:
Justice (2002) views this as the Madonna Side Notch as having 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.
