Plains Triangular
Cluster: Plains Triangular Cluster Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern:
This is a small (1 to 1.5 inch) thin triangular point with a flattened cross section. The blade is primarily straight, but may vary to slightly excurvate. The base ranges from straight to slightly concave with
sharp basal corners. This point has a random flaking pattern.

Distribution:
Distribution Comments:
This point is associated with nomadic bison hunters of the plains and prairie region. This point is found from the plains of Saskatchewan and Alberta into the Plains of Montana, North and South Dakota. May be found into the plains region of Colorado, Nebraska and into Kansas. The highest concentrations of these points are found in the southern region of the plains suggesting a Mississippian cultural influence (Drager and Ireland (1986)
