Parman Stemmed
Cluster: Northern Pacific Stemmed Cluster Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern:
This is a medium triangular to lanceolate stemmed point with an elliptical cross section. The blade may vary from excurvate to straight. The shoulders are commonly weak and at an upward angle, but may range to horizontal. The stem is long and slightly contracting with a straight to slightly convex base. This point has a random flaking pattern.
Size Measurements:
Total Length - 43 to 165 mm (average 50 to 70 mm), Stem Length - 23 to 38 mm, Blade Width - 18 to 39 mm, Stem Width at Shoulders - 13 to 34 mm

Additional Comments:
This is generally considered to be a series type point more than a single unique type. Points that are included in these series include the Lake Mohave and Silver Lake points.
It has been suggested that this and the Lind Coulee point represent the same type with a size difference that separates them and that the Lake Mohave and Silver Lake are the same type as the Parman and Lind Coulee with just a southern distribution.
